Ex-RBC, Ameriprise Broker Charged With Kidnapping Is Barred by FINRA

Matalon, who was dating the woman for two months, grabbed and threw her down in his pool’s shallow step area, local news site Parkland Talk reported in 2021, citing the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. The dispute then continued in Matalon’s home, where he allegedly struck the woman several times, injuring her left and right arms, left leg and right hand, the report said, citing deputies and an arrest affidavit.

The victim attempted to flee Matalon’s home several times, and was finally able to get away and seek assistance from a neighbor. But Matalon forced her back into his home against her will — all captured on a neighbor’s Ring doorbell camera, according to the report.

Matalon then took the woman upstairs and “restrained her in the closet,” the report said, citing the affidavit. Matalon allegedly placed his forearm against her throat, “blocking her airway to prevent her from calling out for help from the police,” committing battery by strangulation, the report said, citing what the deputies wrote.

But she was able to scream and the deputies who arrived outside heard her and entered the home, where they arrested Matalon, according to the report.

Matalon pleaded not guilty and was released on bond, court documents showed.

Almost three weeks before that arrest, Boca Raton Police arrested Matalon for allegedly battering a different woman, who identified him as her boyfriend of two months, the same report said, citing an arrest affidavit. That incident happened in Boca Raton on June 15, 2021, according to court documents. Matalon was charged with domestic battery in that case and released on bond.

Both criminal cases are still open, according to Broward County and Palm Beach County court documents.
