Stonington — Police have arrested a 22-year-old man for the third time for violating a protective order involving a local woman.

Anthony A. Reyes, who used a Willimantic address when he was arrested in January but is now listed as living at 100 S. Broad St., was charged with criminal violation of a protective order on Wednesday. That is the address of the Spruce Meadows apartment complex.

Reyes had been free on no bond for two other protective order cases along with a 2017 case involving an alleged assault and failure to appear in court on two occasions. He was arraigned in New London Superior Court Thursday and is being held on a $75,000 bond at the Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center in Montville.

He is slated to appear in New London Superior Court April 12 on all four pending cases.

According to police, they received information from a citizen that Reyes was violating the protective order that banned him from the residence of the woman and from having contact with her. An officer then observed Reyes on the property and learned Reyes had contact with the woman in violation of the order.

In January, he was charged by Stonington police with violating protective orders involving the woman three times in four days.

On Jan. 24, police arrested Reyes, saying he had stopped the woman from calling 911 and threatened her with a knife even though a protective order had been issued ordering him to stay away from her. They charged him with third-degree assault, interfering with an emergency call, criminal violation of a protective order — a felony — and threatening. The next day, when he appeared in court, he was released without bond on a promise to appear in court.

That promise to appear was issued even though Reyes was charged in 2017 with two counts of second-degree failure to appear in court, third-degree assault and criminal mischief. He had been free on a promise to appear in court in that case, as well.

On Jan. 27, police said they received a call from a resident — not the victim — saying Reyes had entered the victim's apartment at the Spruce Meadow complex on Route 1 in Pawcatuck through an unlocked door. Police said he also had entered her apartment overnight on Thursday and refused to leave. Both were violations of previous protective orders issued to keep him away from the woman. He was charged with first-degree burglary, second-degree burglary and two counts of criminal violation of a protective order.

After the Jan. 27 arrests, corrections records showed he was being held on a $125,000 Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center. But records now show he was released on promise to appear in that case.
