AKRON, Ohio — A 23-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly stabbing another woman in a parking lot in Akron last week after the victim stopped for a flat tire.
The suspect, Deasianet Scruggs, 23, is charged with felonious assault, a second-degree felony, according to Akron Municipal Court records.

Scruggs has a status hearing in Akron Municipal Court on Oct. 30, according to court records.
