An Oroville man turned himself in to police Saturday as a suspect in a double stabbing earlier in the week.

David Charles Partington, a 30-year-old resident of the north-central Washington town, was jailed in Okanogan County on two counts of second-degree attempted murder, officials said Sunday.

A man and woman were attacked one week ago in Oroville and flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Information on their condition was not available.
