A man accused of stabbing a woman in the neck last week at Clark College in Washington state has been tracked down and arrested, authorities said.
Salvador Aguilar, 31, was arrested Thursday morning and charged with first-degree assault and motor vehicle theft, FOX13 Oregon reported.
Detectives followed leads to a residence in the 2600 block of St. Johns Avenue and found Aguilar sleeping in his car, KATU-TV reported.
Aguilar allegedly stabbed the woman in the neck outside Archer Gallery on the Clark College campus on Tuesday, prompting a temporary lockdown at the college.

The Vancouver Police Department said at the time that the woman reported that an unidentified man approached her while she was sitting outside the building, screaming for help.
She told police she thought the man had hit her but realized she had been stabbed when she saw blood. The woman was taken to an area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
