State drops prosecution of Canadian man

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A Canadian man no longer faces multiple charges in Cabell County after a circuit court judge dismissed the case earlier this month.

Jordan Anthony Doswell, 34, of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, was accused of sexual assault, burglary, strangulation and battery for an incident that allegedly happened at The Pullman Plaza Hotel in Huntington in September 2018.

Authorities arrested Doswell in June 2019 at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta.

A judge told Doswell’s legal team the state no longer wishes to prosecute the matter.

Doswell is currently in Georgia because of the coronavirus pandemic. He plans on returning to Canada once the state lifts its state-of-emergency order.
