SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — Spokane County deputies have identified and arrested the female suspect in Wednesday's stabbing on N. Fairwood Drive in Spokane County.
18-year-old Kelsie J. Aitken has been booked into the Spokane County Jail for second-degree assault and first-degree robbery.
According to deputies, the incident began after Aitken and the victim engaged in an argument inside Aitken's apartment. That argument escalated when Aitken began demanding the victim's car keys before stabbing him in the shoulder/arm area.
The victim was treated for non-life threatening injuries and has been released from the hospital.
Deputies located Aitken at her apartment early Thursday morning. She was arrested without incident, according to police.
Another man, 21-year-old Johnathon B. Hotchkiss, was arrested on an unrelated misdemeanor warrant at Aitken's apartment and has been booked into jail.
Deputies say this remains an active investigation.
