FORT SMITH, Ark. — One person was arrested following a stabbing in Fort Smith, on Saturday, April 16, morning.
The Fort Smith Police Department says it responded to a stabbing call around 6:15 a.m. in the 1800 block of North 13th Street.

Police say the suspect was arrested shortly after at MLK park and has been identified as 26-year-old Demetric Deshawn Johnson of Fort Smith.
