Deputies arrested a man after responding to a domestic incident and discovering he was violating a court order.
Christopher R. Castle, 32, of Penn Yan, was charged with second-degree criminal contempt following the incident late December 31, according to the Yates County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies were called to the Village of Dundee around 10:39 p.m. for a reported domestic incident.
While on scene, deputies determined Castle was in violation of an active stay-away order of protection.
Deputies took Castle into custody and transported him to the Yates County Jail, where he was held awaiting CAP arraignment.
The incident occurred in the Town of Starkey. Deputy Lane responded to the scene, with assistance from New York State Police.
Police remind the public that people arrested are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
