A 22-year-old woman named Carrington Harris, residing on the 3900 block of Fountainbleu Road in Keithville, Louisiana has been taken into custody. The arrest came after an inquiry uncovered that she had allegedly attacked her grandfather with a knife in the face, driven by a dispute about her personal cleanliness habits.

After the incident, Harris fled the house and took refuge in a wooded area. A few hours later, she was found hiding behind a house in the nearby area.
Harris has been detained and charged with one count each of Domestic Abuse Battery and Domestic Abuse Battery with a Dangerous Weapon. She is presently in custody at the Caddo Correctional Center. Her bail amount has not been determined yet.
Harris's grandfather was taken to Willis-Knighton South medical facility by Caddo Parish Fire District 6. There is no update on his condition at the time of issuing this information.
