RBC Capital Markets has terminated an advisor after he was arrested for allegedly beating a woman and holding her against her will in his home in Parkland, Florida, less than three weeks after he was arrested and charged with battery of another woman.
The advisor, Scott Jay Matalon, "was placed on administrative leave while we investigated the matter and then his employment at RBC was terminated at the conclusion of the investigation," an RBC spokesperson told ThinkAdvisor on Monday.
Matalon, 40, was arrested on July 5 and charged with kidnapping/inflicting bodily harm, false imprisonment, domestic battery by strangulation and battery, according to Broward County, Florida court documents.
The Broward County Sheriff's Office declined to provide more details to ThinkAdvisor on Monday by phone.
But 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, citing info it obtained from 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 info obtained from 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 his will — all captured on a neighbor's Ring doorbell camera, the report said.
