Police on Thursday morning arrested a 33-year-old Danbury woman by warrant for violating a protective order.
At about 8:42 p.m. on Dec. 15, New Canaan Police received a victim’s complaint that the woman had violated an order that specified “no contact,” officials said.
The victim produced examples of text messages, according to a police report.
Police conducted an investigation and secured a warrant to arrest the woman on the felony charge.
It isn’t clear why or how long the protective order has been in place, how the arrested woman is related to the victim, if at all, what the text messages said or just how many or when they were sent. Police withheld further information, classifying the matter as a domestic incident.
Under state law, a criminal violation of a standing criminal protective order is a class D felony, except that any violation that involves (1) imposing any restraint upon the person or liberty of a person in violation of the standing criminal protective order, or (2) threatening, harassing, assaulting, molesting, sexually assaulting or attacking a person in violation of the standing criminal protective order is a class C felony.
The woman turned herself in to police at about 9:37 on Jan. 19, the report said.
She was held on $25,000 bond and scheduled to appear the same day in state Superior Court in Norwalk.
