A Newton Police investigation into a young child’s fall through an open second-story window at Woodland Heights Apartments on August 14th, led to the arrest of the child’s mother on Monday. Captain Chris Wing with the Newton Police Department says the child suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was treated in the Emergency Room at MercyOne Newton Medical Center. The child’s mother, 35-year-old Angelia Michele Varner, is facing a class C felony charge of Child Neglect. According to Captain Wing, the child’s two-story fall to the ground was from an open bedroom window that had a significantly torn screen. The Newton Police Department’s joint investigation with the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services determined the child’s fall, shortly before 7 p.m. on August 14th, occurred while Varner was in the parking lot of the apartment building. After her arrest, Varner made her initial court appearance Monday afternoon. Her next court  proceeding is a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, September 2nd.
