A Union Springs man was arrested early Friday morning after deputies say he unlawfully entered a residence in the Village of Cayuga, violating a court-issued order of protection.
According to the Cayuga County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched to a domestic incident around 3:05 a.m. on April 11. While speaking with the victim, the suspect, 34-year-old Robert J. Giannone, arrived at the location. Following an investigation, deputies determined Giannone had entered the home without permission, breaching the conditions of an active protective order.
Giannone was arrested on the scene and charged with second-degree criminal trespass and second-degree criminal contempt. He was taken to Cayuga County Jail and appeared in CAP court later that morning, where bail was set at $1,000 cash or $2,000 bond. He has since posted bail.
Giannone is scheduled to appear in Aurelius Town Court on April 16 at 7:00 p.m. Authorities are encouraging anyone with additional information to contact the Sheriff’s Office or submit anonymous tips via the SaferWatch app.
