Najahliek Edmunds, age 26, of Albany, was arrested in October 2018 in Columbia County by Hudson Police.
Officers had been called to the Hudson Terrace Apartments on Front Street for a domestic violence incident and encountered Edmunds holding a large kitchen knife, according to the Columbia County District Attorney’s Office.
He was standing in a dark room and threatened officers with the knife, police said.
Edmunds was eventually arrested without anyone being injured.
On Wednesday, June 15, a Columbia County jury convicted him of felony menacing a police officer and misdemeanor resisting arrest after four hours of deliberations.
“ADA Concra organized and presented a difficult case,” said District Attorney Paul Czajka. “With her hard work, we hope like-minded offenders may be deterred from such violent behavior.”
Edmunds is already serving a life sentence for shooting and killing 23-year-old Eddie Richardson, of Albany, in June 2020, News10 ABC reports.
