    Stonington police charge man with violating protective order for the fourth time

    Stonington -- A New London Superior Court judge ordered a Willimantic man held on $175,000 bond Monday after he was charged with violating a protective order involving a Pawcatuck woman for the fourth time.

    Stonington police said an officer spotted Anthony A. Reyes, 22, walking along Route 1 early Saturday night and took him into custody after police had obtained a warrant for his arrest. He was arraigned before Judge Ernest Green Jr. on Monday. It could not be immediately determined if he had posted the bond.

    According to the warrant, on May 8 police responded to a complaint of a protective order violation at the Spruce Meadow apartment complex on Route 1. The manager told police that she received a complaint from a resident that Reyes was seen leaving the apartment of the woman who had obtained the protective order against him. The resident also said Reyes got in a car with the woman who was driving. The manager also told police Reyes had been seen at the woman’s apartment multiple times in the past week.

    Police were unable to contact Reyes or the woman at the apartment.

    A review of a surveillance camera at the complex showed Reyes leaving the woman’s apartment on the morning of May 8 and walking down the hall. The protective order states that Reyes must stay away from the home where the woman resides and not contact her in any manner.

    Reyes had been free on no bond for two other protective order and burglary cases involving the woman along with a 2017 case involving an alleged assault and failure to appear in court on two occasions when he was arrested again in late March for violating the protective order again. After that arrest, his bond was set at $75,000 bond but he posted it and was released from the Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center in Montville.
