Woman arrested in Washington County stabbing, officials say

Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a 26-year-old woman suspected of breaking into a man’s apartment and stabbing him multiple times Saturday morning, the sheriff’s office said.

Rosalia Martinez-Hernandez was arrested and booked into Washington County Jail on allegations of second-degree attempted murder, assault and burglary, officials said.

Deputies responded to reports of an attack near the 18400 block of Northwest Chemeketa Lane in unincorporated Washington County at 7:40 a.m. They arrived to find a man, whom officials did not identify, inside his apartment with multiple stab wounds, the sheriff’s office said.

The man told deputies that Martinez-Hernandez broke into his apartment and stabbed him before fleeing the scene. He was taken to a hospital and “is currently listed in serious but stable condition,” the sheriff’s office said.

Deputies swept the area and found Martinez Hernandez near Northwest Springville Road and 178th Avenue. She was arrested at 8:25 a.m., the sheriff’s office said.
