Barling father, daughter arrested in stabbing

BARLING — An 18-year-old Arkansas woman and her father have been arrested after police say they attacked an 18-year-old man.

Barling police investigator Keith Lindley told The Southwest Times Record that victim Jesse Pyles underwent emergency surgery Tuesday afternoon and described his condition as stable.

The suspects were arrested after a three-hour standoff with authorities Monday. It's unclear whether they have been charged.

Lindley said the 41-year-old male suspect is dating the victim's mother and that the older man struck her. Lindley said the man then assaulted Pyles and that his daughter stabbed Pyles six times with a knife.
