Man charged with stabbing girlfriend
A North Little Rock man was arrested Saturday in connection with the stabbing of his girlfriend.
Just before 2 a.m. on Saturday, Donnell Davis, 33, stabbed his girlfriend in the head at their home in the 400 block of West 20th Street, according to a North Little Rock police arrest report. He then grabbed what witnesses told police was a long rifle and pointed it at them, saying, “I’m going to start shooting everybody,” the report said. Davis also took his girlfriend into their bedroom and locked the door, refusing to let her leave, it said.
When police arrived, Davis was still locked in the bedroom with his girlfriend, who was “bleeding profusely,” the report said. Police arrested Davis and found a BB gun, not a rifle, in the home. At least two others were in the house at the time of the assault, the report said.
