A 22-year-old Wake Forest woman is facing felony and misdemeanor charges after allegedly breaking into a Kent Drive apartment in Wilson and attacking the person inside with a knife. Maya Bush was arrested Monday, days after the alleged break-in, and now faces a mix of charges tied to the incident.
According to an arrest warrant cited by WCTI, Bush broke into the apartment on Sept. 19 with the intent to terrorize or injure an occupant. The warrant further alleges that she assaulted the person inside with a knife during the encounter.
The warrant also alleges that Bush damaged the apartment's front door and latches in the process of getting inside, per the same report. Those details form the basis of the felony breaking and entering charge, along with misdemeanor charges of assault with a deadly weapon and injury to real property that she now faces.
Booking Details and Charges
Bush was arrested on Sept. 21, according to the outlet's report. A booking record for Maya Elyse Bush shows she was processed in Wilson that morning at 10:55 a.m., with a charge description listing damage to real property among the counts filed against her.
The felony count Bush faces stems from North Carolina's breaking or entering statute, which classifies entering a building with intent to terrorize or injure an occupant as a Class H felony, according to North Carolina General Statutes. The Class H felony count is separate from the misdemeanor assault and property-damage counts also filed in the case.
What Remains Unclear
Details about the condition of the person allegedly attacked, along with any statement from Bush or a representative, have not been made available. Court dates, bond conditions, and how Bush intends to respond to the charges have also not been disclosed as of this report.
