Posted

Prince William County Police charged Nicole Jane Little, 32, of Gainesville Aug. 12 with malicious wounding, domestic assault & battery and resisting arrest following a stabbing incident in a residence located in the 4500 block of Logmill Road in Gainesville.

According to the victim, a 31-year-old woman of Gainesville, she and an acquaintance were involved in a verbal altercation, which escalated.

"During the encounter, the accused assaulted the victim and, at one point, retrieved a kitchen knife," police spokesman Officer Jonathan Perok said. "Another resident of the home, a 36-year-old man of Gainesville, attempted to intervene and was stabbed in the arm by the accused. The male victim ran to a neighbor’s residence where he contacted police."

The accused fled the home prior to officers arriving in the area but was found in a wooded area behind the home by police K-9.

"Once encountered by officers, the accused refused to comply with commands and was bitten by the police K-9," Perok said. "The accused was eventually detained without further incident."

Both victims and the accused sustained minor injuries during the incident and were transported to an area hospital for treatment.

Little's court date is pending, and she is held without bond.
