GASPORT: Landlord accused of forcible touching
Two men were arrested after an apparent confrontation outside a Haseley Road home Monday. Deputies responded to the home about 6:45 p.m. Monday for a report of a possible assault on a man inside a car. Charles Mattina, 53, 6648 Bear Ridge Road, told deputies that Michael J. Dunker, 51, 8860 Haseley Road, had tried to pull him out of his van.
Mattina said Dunker’s 27-year-old daughter had told her father Mattina had touched her inappropriately. Mattina told deputies he was in the process of trying to rent out a Main Street apartment in Gasport, and he met with the woman at the apartment so she could fill out an application.
After the woman filled out the application, Mattina told her he would be doing a background check. He told deputies the woman started crying, and he hugged her. The woman then filled out another application, this time including her criminal history and her boyfriend’s criminal history, which was “quite lengthy,” the report said.
The woman later told deputies that when Mattina hugged her, she started to pull away, and he grabbed her breast and pushed her on the apartment floor. She said Mattina made comments such as, “I’m the one that can make this criminal check disappear,” and reportedly offered to accept the application without the criminal history.
Mattina drove the woman back to Dunker’s house, according to reports. Dunker told deputies his daughter got out of the car and told him and her boyfriend Mattina had touched her. The woman’s boyfriend reportedly said this was the second time Mattina had refused to rent to them. Mattina said Dunker then tried to pull him out of his van and kicked the side of the vehicle, causing $100 in damages. Dunker was charged with second-degree harassment and criminal mischief, and Mattina was charged with forcible touching. Both were issued appearance tickets are due July 22 in Royalton Town Court.
