They found a 48-year-old victim who was taken to hospital, and arrested a suspect who has been charged with assault with a weapon.

Cindy Jean Anderson, 46, was detained in custody.

Police said the suspect and victim in this last incident knew each other, and it appears that an argument escalated into the stabbing.
