A suspect has been arrested in connection with a stabbing incident that occurred in Springdale on January 18, 2026. The Springdale Police Department responded to a report of a disturbance in the 1400 block of Thrush around 12:15 AM, where they discovered a female victim suffering from multiple stab wounds. She was promptly transported to a local hospital for medical treatment, and her current condition remains undisclosed.
Authorities quickly identified 25-year-old Ladarius Green as the suspect in the stabbing. Following the incident, Green fled the scene in a vehicle that had a young juvenile passenger. That vehicle was later involved in an accident in Fayetteville, where officers found the juvenile still inside. Fortunately, the child was safely reunited with family members.
On January 21, 2026, at approximately 7:30 PM, Springdale detectives received intelligence regarding Green’s location in Fayetteville. Acting on this information, the United States Marshal Service apprehended him at a residence on an arrest warrant. Green faces several serious charges, including Attempted Capital Murder, Kidnapping, and Theft of Property. He was subsequently taken to the Springdale Police Department for an interview before being transported to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office for booking.
As the investigation continues, the victim, who is in stable condition, has spoken with investigators regarding the incident. Authorities have indicated that this appears to be an isolated event, posing no ongoing threat to the public. Further details about the case will be released as they become available, but for now, authorities urge anyone with information about Green’s whereabouts prior to his arrest to contact the Springdale Police Department at 751-4542 or the Criminal Investigation Division at 479-750-8139.
