A man wanted by Davenport police in the stabbing of a family member on April 11 has been arrested in Norfolk, Virginia.

Last week, Davenport police said Douglas Kidd, 47, stabbed his cousin more than 15 times and fled the scene. The victim was stabbed in the back, chest, face and arms. Police obtained a warrant for his arrest on charges of attempted first-degree murder. Police said Kidd and the victim lived in the same house.

Davenport Police Chief Steve Parker said in a news release that the Norfolk police fugitive task force spotted Kidd's car on Tuesday and made a traffic stop. He was taken into custody without incident.
