LEWISTON — A Raleigh, North Carolina, woman wanted in that state for repeatedly stabbing a man in November, was arrested Thursday by the U.S. Marshals Service in Lewiston.
Marshals, along with Lewiston and Maine State Police, said they found Alyalia Chaibounmingkhouan, 19, at a home on Blake Street and arrested her on warrants charging her with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury with intent to kill. She is also charged in the warrant with three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon.
