Three Austin residents are facing felony charges for allegedly breaking into a woman’s home Wednesday and assaulting her.

Nichole Marie Zankou, 25, Nathan Cameron Whiteaker, 28, and Jesus Detomas Perales, 29, all face two felony counts of burglary and assault for allegedly breaking into a Western Manor apartment and attacking a 24-year-old female victim.

Each suspect also faces at least one lesser charge.

The incident occurred Wednesday around 6:45 at 2700 Third Ave. S.W. According to a police report, the three suspects knocked on the door, and Zankou asked the alleged victim where her husband was.

Perales and Zankou then allegedly dragged the victim into the hallway, where Zankou kicked her while she lay on the floor. Whiteaker allegedly stood in the hallway to block the view.

A friend of the victim attempted to call police, but Perales allegedly took her cell phone.

When police arrived, the suspects had left. The victim had a bloody towel on her face, a swollen eye and scratches around her neck. She was taken by ambulance, according to the report.

Police were able to track the suspects to the 1400 block of Sixth Avenue Northwest, and saw a silver van like one that had been seen leaving the scene, the report states.

Perales and Zankou both denied any involvement when questioned. Police noticed fresh cuts and scratches on Zankou’s face, and told her she was under arrest.

Zankou began to fight police while being arrested, flailing her arms and scratching the police vehicle with a pair of sunglasses. She also yelled obscenities at the officers, according to the report.

Police responded with a Taser, the report says.

A few people gathered around during the arrest and claimed police brutality. This included Whiteaker, who was arrested after walking up to police with a camera.

All three are in Mower County custody and were scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
