The district court could have inferred Walton's intent to assault Rankka from the fact that Walton swore at Rankka and looked at her as he slashed her coat. It is the district court's role to judge witness credibility and to determine the weight of witness testimony. Evidence of Walton's intent could also have been drawn from the fact that he removed his knife from his pocket as he approached the women and extended the blade at some point after removing the knife from his pocket. Although Walton testified that he drew his knife because he felt threatened by the other man who had been on the bridge, Rankka testified that the other man was already off the bridge when the women encountered Walton. Based on the evidence in the record, there is sufficient evidence to affirm the district court s conclusion that Walton intentionally attempted to cause Rankka bodily harm.
Intoxication is only a factor to consider when determining intent.
