A Newton woman is facing several felony charges after allegedly breaking into a residence while armed.
Akual Malow, 21, was arrested on Friday, November 6th after officers were dispatched to a Newton address at approximately 10:17 a.m. following a report of a broken window and a possible intruder inside.
According to court documents, Malow allegedly entered the home the night before, at approximately 10:18 p.m. When the victim returned to the residence and discovered the broken window, they fled. When officers arrived the following morning, Malow was found inside the victim’s bedroom.
While being transported to jail, Malow allegedly told law enforcement that she had property under the pillows in the victim’s bed. Officers later located two knives there. The victim said one knife belonged to them and the other belonged to Malow.
Malow is charged with Burglary in the First Degree, a Class B felony, and two counts of Stalking — Possession of a Dangerous Weapon, a Class C felony.
This is not Malow’s first arrest at the same address. Police say she was out on bond at the time of the alleged burglary stemming from an October 22nd incident at the same residence in which she allegedly pointed a gun at the victim. She faces two counts of Going Armed with Intent, a Class D felony, and two counts of Assault While Displaying a Dangerous Weapon, an aggravated misdemeanor, in connection with that incident.
Malow has a preliminary hearing and bond hearing scheduled for November 16th.
