NILES

Adante D. Mallory, 23, of South Feederle Avenue Southeast, Warren, has been charged with two counts of felonious assault after Niles police were called to apartments on Royal Mall Drive about 4 a.m. Sunday and found two women who had been stabbed in the thighs.

Both women refused to file a written complaint, apparently because they were afraid of Mallory, police said. The women also refused treatment from ambulance personnel.

A kitchen knife found in a nearby vehicle was taken into evidence, and Mallory was taken to the Trumbull County Jail.

Mallory, who was sentenced to nine months in prison in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court in December 2007 on a cocaine-possession charge, was arrested Sunday on a domestic- violence warrant.

Judge Thomas Townley of Niles Municipal Court ordered that Mallory be held in the jail in lieu of $7,500 bond. He also approved a temporary protection order aimed at keeping Mallory away from the victims. Mallory returns to court May 12.

If convicted of felonious assault, Mallory could get up to 16 years in prison.
