The victim, a 39-year-old woman, told police that Withrow came up to her unprovoked and began stabbing her with a small sharp object, according to an affidavit and statement of facts.
Police said Withrow had a flathead screwdriver when officers stopped him; however, he didn’t specify if the screwdriver was the weapon.
Withrow was arrested and booked into the Montgomery County Jail, where he remains.
He’s scheduled to appear in court again next week.
