FLINT, MI – A guest who called 911 to report a crying, hysterical woman screaming for help outside her motel room testified the woman's acquaintance – former basketball star Mateen Cleaves – left his hotel room before police arrived.
The witness, Coleen Dowdall, said she saw Cleaves grab the unclothed woman and take her back into a room earlier in the night.
Dowdall, another guest at the motel, testified Tuesday, Nov. 15, during a preliminary exam that Cleaves drove away from his room at the Knights Inn after she allowed the intoxicated woman into her room.
