A woman accused of helping a suspect hide after singer-songwriter Marc Cohn was shot was ordered Friday to stand trial on an accessory charge.
Patricia Vail, 23, is accused of helping Joseph Yacteen hide from police after he allegedly fired a gun into a van carrying Cohn’s band in a Denver parking garage on Aug. 7.
Cohn and driver-tour manager Thomas Dube were grazed by the bullet. Both were treated and released from a hospital the next day.
Cohn had a hit with “Walking in Memphis” and won a Grammy in 1992.
Yacteen, 26, is charged with attempted murder, second-degree assault, aggravated robbery, menacing and criminal trespass. He could face up to 90 years in prison if convicted of all counts.
Police said Yacteen tried to steal the van and then forced four men out of another vehicle nearby. He was later found in a vacant house where police forced him out with tear gas after a standoff of nearly six hours.
Vail faces up to six years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000 if convicted. She was scheduled to return to court for a Nov. 8 hearing.
