Mateen Cleaves: Hero of Flint finds himself fighting for his freedom
FLINT, Mich. — Mateen Cleaves is in court, holding court, leaning back from the defense table during a brief recess here Wednesday morning, chatting with assorted family and friends seated behind him.
The topics are as varied as they are casual, typical guy talk, from the current plight of Michigan State football, to what he taught some kids at a recent youth basketball clinic, to whether Alabama’s football team is so good it could beat the Cleveland Browns. At other times he stood and strolled the courtroom, greeting supporters.
He still looks like a basketball player. He still carries himself like a star athlete. He still properly fills out a sharp, dark suit, while remaining an everyman here, folks still hanging on his every word. At 39 his head is clean shaven, which helps disguise any sign of age, the inevitable flecks of gray that would hint that he’s far removed from those big-smiling days when he led Michigan State to a national championship and became a first-round NBA draft pick.
Cleaves’ ease belies the significance of what is playing out in front of him here in Courtroom 4 of Flint’s 67th District Court.
This is the second day of a preliminary examination hearing that will determine whether he will stand trial for unlawful imprisoning and sexually assaulting a 24-year-old woman in an area motel following a day of partying at a charity golf outing. If found guilty, Cleaves faces up to 15 years in prison. He is currently free on a $150,000 bond.
That there will be a trial is almost a forgone conclusion.
Cleaves met the woman, her boyfriend and some of her friends and coworkers at a Sept. 14, 2015, charity golf outing at nearby Warwick Hills Country Club. There was considerable drinking at the event and then later at a nearby bar. A little after 1 a.m., prosecutors allege, the woman’s boyfriend left to drive a friend home and the woman left with Cleaves. She says she thought they were headed back to the golf club. Instead they arrived at the Knights Inn where the woman alleges she was held against her will and assaulted in Room 121.
