Woman testifies Mateen Cleaves twice grabbed woman and took her back to room

FLINT, MI – A woman staying at a Mundy Township motel testified she saw a woman twice flee from Mateen Cleaves and twice the former basketball star took her back into his hotel room.

Coleen Dowdall testified Tuesday, Nov. 15, during a preliminary exam she was staying at the Knights Inn motel in September 2015 when she saw the former Michigan State Spartan and the woman.

"I heard yelling from outside, so I looked outside to see what was going on," Dowdall testified.

Dowdall said she saw a woman and man, who she identified as Cleaves, outside.
