Neighbor's Gun Threat: 5 Years for Sex Offender

A Palmer jury just nailed 55-year-old Darren Robbins from Takina on five counts of third

degree assault.

This went down back in October 2022, when he held five friends at gunpoint during their

weekend, Yurt ran to on Takina.

Around midnight, one guy stepped outside and ran into Robbins, who pulled his hanggun and

made him stand in the corner.

Another came out, got lined up the same way, and soon all five were facing threats, as

Robbins said he would drag them into the woods and shoot them in, the head.

The victims inside the Yurt were trapped with no way out, begging him not to fire while

he blocked the door.

They said the whole nightmare lasted over 30 minutes, feeling their lies were on the lines

since he'd been lurking outside, listening to them for.

Hours.

Turns out, Robbins lives right next door to the rental, and is a registered sex offender

banned from owning guns.

He already got convicted separately for weapons misconduct.

Sentencing hits June 25 before Judge Jonathan Woodman, where he could face two to four years

on each count, bringing some justice after that, terrifying night in the woods, stay informed
