Seabrook Man Arrested on Domestic Order Violation

CONCORD, NH — A local man was arrested for an alleged restraining order violation earlier this month, according to police. Michael Depont, 34, of Scott Avenue in Seabrook, was arrested at 1:57 p.m. on April 8, 2017, for domestic violence-violation of a protective order.

On April 7, an officer was sent to Rex Drive in Concord to investigate a possible DVO violation. A woman alleged that a 30-day order had been served to Depont the day before and at around 6 p.m., one of his relatives showed up at the home to pick up some of his things. The order, however, did not allow for third party contact, and she later left. Police then called for a civil standby but the woman was unable to schedule that, the affidavit noted.

The officer then called the relative who allegedly stated that she and Depont were in the area and since he needed his clothes, she drove over to get them. She reportedly stated that he waited away from the home near mailboxes and when the woman couldn’t accommodate her getting his clothes and tools, she went to police headquarters to arrange a standby, the affidavit stated. She reportedly stated she was unaware that the DVO didn’t allow third-party contact.

The reporting officer spoke to Depont and he allegedly stated that Seabrook Police didn’t explain the third-party contact issue to him and he misunderstood what it meant, thinking it was that he could not use his relative’s phone or email or someone else’s means to contact the woman.
