A 17-year-old Arlington girl has been charged as an adult with attempted murder in the stabbing of a man at a hobo camp in Maryland.

Police said Wednesday that Jessika Brown stabbed 22-year-old Jimmy Lee Blank of Tacoma nine times in the abdomen during a drunken altercation near the CSX railroad tracks in Cumberland, Md., Tuesday night.

Brown is also wanted in Skagit County on rape charges.

A hospital spokeswoman for the Western Maryland Health System refused to release information on Blank’s condition Thursday.

Investigators say Brown and Blank had traveled to Cumberland from Chicago by hopping trains.

Police say that after the stabbing, a 19-year-old hobo from New Jersey helped Brown flag down a motorist to get Blank to the emergency room.

Brown is wanted in Skagit County on three charges of first-degree rape, accused of inappropriately touching a young girl from January 2004 to December 2006. The girl was between the ages of seven and 10 at the time, according to Skagit County Superior Court documents. Brown was charged in Skagit County in May as a juvenile.

Skagit County Superior Court Judge Mike Rickert issued a $1,500 warrant for her arrest June 2.

The affidavit filed by the Skagit County Prosecutor’s Office says Brown also has a felony conviction for malicious harassment and gross misdemeanor convictions for assault and two counts of theft.

Skagit County Prosecutor Rich Weyrich said Thursday he did not know if Brown would be brought back to Mount Vernon for prosecution.
