LITTLE ROCK — A homeless man accused of stabbing another man multiple times told authorities he later attempted to stitch the victim's wounds with dental floss, according to a North Little Rock Police Department report.
Ashton Stottler, 32, was arrested early Friday on a preliminary charge of second-degree battery. He is set to make an initial court appearance Tuesday.
Police began investigating after being called to Baptist Health Medical Center in North Little Rock, where Nicholas Scarseth was receiving treatment for 13 stab wounds, the report said.
Investigators say Scarseth was uncooperative.
Officers were later called to 211 Crockett St.
