She entered her mother's home and went to bed. An hour later she awoke to Manes sitting on top of her, beating and choking her, according to her statements to police. She fought him off and he fled. He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. The woman, a former Boyne City resident who now lives out of state, suffered bruises to her neck and face and a cut on her face that required stitches.
Police believe Manes entered the home through a window at the rear of the home.
Officers were able to lift a bloody fingerprint from a door the attacker used to leave the house. Lab results determined the print came from Manes, who has a criminal record from Massachusetts, Jarema said. A preliminary examination is set for Sept. 5 in district court.
