Q: my fiancee has a protection order against her ex boyfriend because he used to beat her, and he knowingly comes by her
He purposely comes by her and we have reported when he made a threat several times and law enforcement nor the court will do anything...she is scared daily because she believes she will get hurt or end up dead because law enforcement refuses to take any action...what can we do to put an end to this and get this man that admitted to attempting to trying to kill her in court and he was let go stopped from being around her
A: if she has an order of protection you will want to file a police report after the next contact by the ex-boyfriend. Have evidence of the contact, i.e. text message or email, and then take the evidence and police report to the Prosecuting Attorney's Office to have them look at filing charges for violating the order of protection.
