TC Man Arrested for Assault, Unlawful Imprisonment

Chad Matzen, a 33-year-old Traverse City man, has been arraigned on charges of unlawful imprisonment and assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder following an investigation by the Michigan State Police.

The MSP West Branch Post began the investigation on October 31 after a victim sought treatment at an area hospital for injuries cause by a domestic assault that took place in Grand Traverse County.

"Further allegations were made that there had been additional abusive and controlling actions committed by the suspect," according to MSP. "MSP Traverse City Post was contacted and assisted in the investigation."

On November 6, troopers located Matzen and arrested him. He was lodged in the Grand Traverse County Jail. Matzen was arraigned in 86th District Court this week, with bond set at $100,000 cash/surety. He is due in court again on November 16.
