NEWTON – A Newton woman was arrested on Friday after allegedly breaking into a residence while armed.

The Newton Police Department says that officers were dispatched to 215 West 10th Street South on Friday, November 6, at around 10:17 AM. Someone had reported a broken window at that address and believed a person was inside. Police searched the home and found 21-year-old Akual Malow.

Court documents state that Malow allegedly entered the home the night before, at approximately 10:18 PM. When the victim entered the residence and saw the broken window, they fled; and when police arrived the following morning, Malow was found in the victim’s bedroom.

While she was being transported to jail, Malow reportedly mentioned to law enforcement that she had property under the pillows in the victim’s bed. Officers later found two knives there, and the victim said that one knife belonged to them while the other belonged to Malow.

Police say that Malow was out on bond at the time of the alleged burglary, stemming from an incident on October 22 at the same home in which she allegedly pointed a gun at the victim.

Malow was arrested for this incident and charged with two felonies, including 1st Degree Burglary (Class B felony) and Stalking while Possessing a Dangerous Weapon (Class C felony).
