A Bath man was jailed after police said he repeatedly contacted people protected by an active order of protection.
The Village of Bath Police Department said officers were dispatched around 12:53 p.m. July 7 for a welfare check involving Kenneth R. Mikko of Bath.
Police said Mikko was the caller and was found to have an active order of protection against him that required him to refrain from contact or third-party contact with the protected parties he was trying to reach.
After interviewing the protected parties, police said they learned Mikko had contacted them multiple other times over a three-month period.
Mikko was located, arrested and processed, according to police. He was transported to Steuben County Jail for centralized arraignment and was remanded on $2,000 bail.
Mikko was charged with second-degree criminal contempt, a misdemeanor. Bath police said New York State Police assisted.
