Franklin County

A Columbus man was arraigned Thursday in Franklin County Municipal Court on a first-degree felony kidnapping charge.

Davon Wilson-Mattison is charged in case 2026 CR A 017564 with kidnapping, a first-degree felony, at the grade alleging that he restrained the liberty of another person, according to court records.

The arraignment sheet gives no facts about the underlying incident, and no further details were available in the court record Thursday. The charge is among the most serious filed at Thursday’s felony arraignments.

Franklin County Sheriff’s Office records show Wilson-Mattison was arrested on October 21, 2026, and booked into the Franklin County jail ahead of his appearance in courtroom 4D.

Wilson-Mattison is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Felony cases filed in municipal court are typically presented to a Franklin County grand jury, which decides whether to issue an indictment and move the case to the Court of Common Pleas.

We are reaching out for more information and will update this story as details become available.
