EARLIER:
Authorities on Wednesday morning were in pursuit of an Arkansas man accused of stabbing a woman and kidnapping an infant.
Cpl. Liz Chapman, a spokeswoman for Arkansas State Police, said the agency was assisting the Washington County sheriff’s office shortly before 10 a.m. in a search for 38-year-old Danny Trent Barrows.
Wednesday’s search included combing areas of Crawford County, Chapman said.
The Mountainburg Police Department said in an alert at 9:55 a.m. that Barrows was traveling toward Mountainburg in a stolen white 2011 Ford pickup with an Arkansas license plate of 696XBI.
Authorities say he stabbed the mother of his infant daughter during a domestic disturbance Monday in the Winslow area and then fled with the child.
The 2-month-old girl, Ivy Kay Barrows, was found safe Tuesday after being dropped off at her grandmother’s home in Elkins, the sheriff’s office said.
Additional information was not immediately available, and a message left with the sheriff’s office was not returned Wednesday morning.
Mountainburg, a town of nearly 625 residents, is about 25 miles northeast of Fort Smith in Crawford County.
