Danielle Stislicki Case: Person Of Interest Arraigned On Unrelated Kidnapping, Sexual Assault Charges [Video]


A man who’s considered a person of interest in the case of missing Farmington Hills, Michigan woman, Danielle Stislicki, was arraigned Wednesday on charges unrelated to that case, which involves kidnapping and criminal sexual assault.

The man, whose name was withheld by news media until his arraignment, is Floyd Galloway, 30, of Berkley, according to The Detroit News.

Galloway was arraigned on several charges, including “kidnapping, criminal sexual conduct-assault with intent to commit sexual penetration, and assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder by strangulation,” according to Fox 2.

The judge ordered Galloway to be held on a $750,000 cash bond that if met, will require Galloway to wear a GPS device, The Detroit News reports.

The charges facing Galloway stem from an alleged incident that reportedly took place on September 4, 2016. WXYZ reports that a 28-year-old woman told police that while jogging down a bicycle path in a Livonia park, she was grabbed around the neck by a man, who also struck her on the side of her face. According to WXYZ Detroit, police say the man tried to drag the woman toward a nearby river, attempted to take off her clothes, and “told her he wanted to have sex with her.”

Authorities indicate the woman tussled with the man and was able to escape his grasp, flagging down a passing car as she quickly fled the scene. WXYZ notes that although she used the driver’s phone to call police, once authorities got to the area, the suspect was gone.

Galloway is expected to appear in court again on July 6.

Farmington Hills Police Chief Chuck Nebus noted in a statement released on June 28 that detectives investigating Danielle’s case have spoken to Galloway in the past and have searched his residence. According to The Detroit News, Nebus further indicated that Galloway had formerly worked as a security guard at the building where Danielle worked and “was acquainted with Danielle during his security duties at Metlife.”

Fox 2 reports that the Farmington Hills Police also stated the following about Danielle’s case.

“More than 60 search warrants for structures, cars and electronic data have been executed. Over 100 law enforcement officers, evidence technicians, and lab personnel have been diligently working on the Stislicki case. The personnel are from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Michigan State Police (MSP), Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, and the Cities of Farmington Hills, Livonia, Southfield, Berkley, Detroit and other local police agencies. Hundreds of pieces of potential evidence have been collected and processed by detectives from the above agencies and the lab personnel from the FBI, MSP, and Oakland County Sheriff’s Office. We are grateful to the Livonia Police Department for their outstanding assistance, which led to an arrest that may provide additional opportunities to collect evidence and identify places to search.”

Danielle, 28 at the time, went missing in the late afternoon of Friday, December 2, 2016, after leaving her job at MetLife at around 5 p.m. She had plans later in the evening to meet a lifelong female friend for dinner after first stopping at her apartment on the way home from work.

When Danielle failed to show up for the planned dinner her friend became extremely worried. When she was unable to make contact with Danielle by Saturday and Danielle failed to show up for work, the friend became alarmed. She then headed to the Independence Green apartment complex where Danielle lives and when the friend arrived, she found Danielle’s Jeep Renegade parked near her apartment.

Local law enforcement later announced that inside Danielle’s locked Jeep was her purse, her identification, and her credit cards. Danielle’s keys and cell phone were nowhere to be found, thus, authorities announced her key ring contains a unique key charm consisting of a yellow figure with a green body and yellow legs. Danielle’s cell phone is a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime in a rose gold case.
