Although the department originally reported that a suspect had been arrested and charged in the case, Capt. Ryan Huffman said it is still under investigation.

It was reported three females approached an officer at 2:30 a.m. with visible injuries and indicated they had been stabbed by another female on the corner of Front and Green streets. It was then reported that a suspect was located in the 100 block of Front Street, detained, questioned and then arrested and taken to the Washington County Jail.

He said investigators have viewed a surveillance video of the incident and that they are awaiting a copy from the owner.
