Police say a woman was discovered with multiple stab wounds Tuesday on the 5100 block of Dressler Road NW in Jackson Township, in what investigators are treating as a life‑threatening attack. Officers report she was rushed to Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital while an alert went out for a suspect who had taken off from the scene. As crews locked down the area, detectives began going door to door and checking nearby businesses for clues.
Arrest After Chase Into Portage County
According to WOIO, Jackson Township officers say the suspect was tracked down after a pursuit that crossed into Portage County and ended when his vehicle crashed. The station reports the attack happened in the Belden Village area and quotes Jackson Township Police Chief Mark Brink saying the woman was receiving treatment at a local hospital while detectives followed up on leads.
Suspect Identified; Charges Sought
In a police press release reported by WKYC, authorities identified the suspect as 44‑year‑old Tyrone Anthony Card. The Portage County Sheriff’s Office arrested Card after the crash, and Jackson Township police say they plan to seek charges of aggravated robbery, attempted murder, and felonious assault. Investigators say the victim suffered stab wounds to her head, neck, and chest and remains in critical condition, while Card was taken to a hospital in Ravenna with injuries that have not been detailed.
Investigation Ongoing
The Jackson Township detective bureau is leading the investigation and, in its statement, thanked the township fire department and the Portage County Sheriff’s Office for their help at the scene and during the pursuit. Police are asking anyone who witnessed the stabbing or has video from the area to contact investigators. No motive has been released, and officials say the case is still very much active. WOIO notes the story is developing, and authorities expect to share more details as they become available.
