Tyler Riddle, 34, was recently sentenced to 15 years in prison for the violent assault of his girlfriend in Mesa.
In August 2025, the Mesa Police Department responded to a call from a 12-year-old stating his mother was bleeding and that her boyfriend, identified as Riddle, was in their home.
When police arrived, they found the child’s mother covered in blood with multiple stab wounds including a laceration across her throat. The victim’s two children told police they were woken up by screaming and saw the defendant punching their mother. They attempted to help their mother during the attack but were struck in the face by the defendant.
