BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (WAND) – Two central Illinois suspects are accused of attacking a woman in Bloomington.
Before 4 p.m. Saturday, officers found the victim with stab wounds in the common area of an apartment building, which is located the 1900 block of Tracy Drive. The woman was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers arrested Champaign man Tommie Slayton, 34, at the scene. Police tracked 40-year-old Normal woman Mariah Davidson after they say she fled the scene in a vehicle. Davidson is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, while Slayton faces counts of battery, aggravated battery of a police officer and resisting/obstructing a peace officer.
Police say Slayton’s aggravated battery charge was filed because he provoked police at the scene.
