South Windsor Police Arrest Man for Violating Protective Order Against a Woman

South Windsor police arrested a Manchester man for allegedly being involved in an altercation with a woman that had a protective order against him and for failing to stop when an officer tried to pull him over for a motor vehicle violation.

Markin Jones, 20, of 102 Westerly Terrace in Manchester, was arrested early Thursday morning on charges of criminal violation of a protective order, disobeying an officer’s signal, operating a motor vehicle under suspension, failure to display registration plate and second-degree breach of peace.

According to a police press release, a South Windsor Police officer attempted to stop a vehicle on Buckland Road for a violation at about 1 a.m. on Sept. 11. The operator of the vehicle failed to pull over, but stopped his vehicle after the officer followed him for about three quarters of a mile, according to police.

During the roadside interview, the officers learned that the operator (Jones) had just been involved in an altercation at a Barber Hill Road home.

Jones had allegedly grabbed a woman during an argument over a cell phone, according to police, and a protective order prohibited any such behavior by Jones against the woman.

Jones was held on a $10,000 surety bond and was scheduled to be presented at Manchester Superior Court on Thursday morning.
