A juvenile is in custody after he allegedly slit a womanâs throat Saturday night in North Crossett.
The Ashley County Sheriffâs Office is also investigating other incidents from Saturday night â including alleged sexual assault â that involved the same suspect.
Sheriff Tommy Sturgeon said Sunday that a woman had been stabbed in a North Crossett trailer park. Investigator Josh Pollock said Monday morning that though the case was still under investigation, an unnamed juvenile had been arrested and charged with multiple counts of rape, battery, and robbery.
At press time a report indicated the juvenile had gone to a womanâs home on Hwy 52 in North Crossett, where he allegedly raped and stabbed her multiple times. Pollock said the victimâs neck had been slit from ear to ear and she had multiple stab wounds in other parts of her body. âSheâs very lucky to be alive,â he said.
