A suspect was taken into custody after a standoff that started around 3 a.m., the North Little Rock police said on Twitter just after 7:20 a.m. Sunday.

Trice Dawkins, 48, of North Little Rock was arrested “without incident” after a several hours-long standoff with police on Sunday, a news release from the police said.

Before the standoff, police responded to a residence on the 700 block of W. 16th St. and found a victim who’d been stabbed, the release said.

The victim was taken to a local hospital and is said to be in stable condition, police said.

Officers then learned that Dawkins was barricaded inside the residence, the release said.

Dawkins has been charged with first-degree domestic battery, the release said. She is being held in the Pulaski County jail without bond. 

The investigation is ongoing.
