Suspect arrested for allegedly stabbing parents near Sedona

PHOENIX — A suspect is in custody following the alleged assault of his parents in a small town south of Sedona Saturday morning, authorities said.

Yavapai County Sheriff's Office deputies responded around 5:30 a.m. to reports of a stabbing at a home near Coffee Pot Rock Drive in the Village of Oak Creek.

Officers found the suspect, Lauren Levinson, 33, on the street near the home and arrested her without incident, YCSO said.

Upon entering the home, a YCSO sergeant located the suspect's parents, each suffering from stab wounds. The mother had “numerous puncture wounds to her back” and the father had been stabbed “multiple times in the arm,” the YCSO said.

One of the parents had called the suspect's brother, who arrived on the scene to help the sergeant with life-saving measures. The mother's injuries had to be treated to allow her lungs to continue functioning and the father's arm required a tourniquet.

The mother and father were taken to Flagstaff Medical Center and Verde Valley Medical Center, respectively, for further treatment.

YCSO detectives continue to investigate the incident.
