Man Faces Charges After Stalking Plymouth City Commissioner, MI AG

PLYMOUTH, MI — A Flushing man is in trouble after officials said he stalked a Plymouth city commissioner and the Michigan attorney general.

Christopher Dean Baldwin, 40, was charged with two counts of misdemeanor stalking in connection with stalking Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and her wife, Plymouth city commissioner Alanna Maguire.

Baldwin was placed in jail with a $100,000 bond and must wear a GPS tether if released. He was also ordered to have no contact with Nessel and Maguire, no controlled substances and to surrender all firearms. His next court date is scheduled for March 15.

Prosecutors did not release much information on the case, but said Baldwin was arrested in connection with the incident on Tuesday at 8:34 a.m. when he rang the doorbell and sat on the front porch at Nessel’s family home in Plymouth, according to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.

The day before, Baldwin attended a Plymouth commission meeting in Plymouth Township where Maguire was in attendance, according to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.

No further information was released, though prosecutors said more specific information will be placed on the record in court, according to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.

"The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office will always take any and all threats against public officials very seriously. This simply will not be tolerated. Unfortunately, in today’s climate threats to elected and other officials have become normalized. Not by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office, ever," Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said.
