Chester County man jailed for alleged assault in North Strabane Township

A Chester County man is in jail without bail after being accused of assaulting a woman in a North Strabane Township hotel room and not allowing her to leave.

Marios George Migias, 27, of Exton, was charged by North Strabane police on Sunday with the crimes of kidnapping and strangulation.

According to the criminal complaint, Migias was visiting the area with his girlfriend because he was a member of a bridal party. Around 8:45 p.m. Saturday, police were called to conduct a welfare check at the DoubleTree Hotel on Racetrack Road after Migias failed to attend the wedding.

When police found Migias and his girlfriend in the room, according to the complaint, the woman had visible bruising on her face, chin and feet. She told investigators that Migias attacked her and was taken into custody.

According to the complaint, the woman also had bruising on her thighs and redness on her neck.

Court documents allege Migias began abusing the woman after they arrived in the county. She told police that Migias made her stay in the room until the bruises healed.

According to the complaint, the woman did not sleep, shower or eat for approximately three days. Migias is accused of intentionally keeping her awake and not letting her out of sight.

The woman told investigators that Migias showed her on his phone a list of people he wanted to kill or harm. That alleged list is why District Judge John Bruner denied Migia bail, according to online court records.

He also faces misdemeanor charges of terroristic threats, unlawful restraint and simple assault.

Migias was arraigned before Judge Bruner on Sunday morning. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 11 at 11 a.m.
