A Diego Martin man will appear before a Port-of-Spain magistrate today charged with breaching a protection order of his two children.
Police said the suspect’s former common-law wife took out the protection order for the children after complaints were made from the school and the children against him.
The man is currently out on bail after breaching another protection order that the common-law took out for herself.
The man was held in an exercise and was being held in police custody at the West End Police Station.
Police said the exercise was spearheaded by Supt Peter Dominique of Western Division. Officers said the suspect breached the protection against the woman and when he got bail she took out another protection order.
Several witnesses stepped forward after the suspect allegedly showed up at the children’s school where he reportedly threatened a number of individuals.
Last month, in an interview at a police town meeting, the mother commended the efforts of the police because of their hard work. During that town meeting, which was held at the Diego Martin Central Community Centre, the mother said she had been threatened by the man.
Senior officers said since the town meeting several attempts were being made to address the concerns raised by the Diego Martin community.
