Man Charged with Violating No-Contact Order for a Third Time

Newport Police charged a 29-year-old Newport man with violating a no-contact order, third offense, on Tuesday after detectives discovered he was recently at a Broadway apartment with a woman he was ordered to stay away from. 

Police responded to the apartment on Feb. 22 after a woman reported her sneakers were stolen. It turned out that it was all just a prank, and she said she didn’t want to press charges against her sister, who was the alleged culprit.

Police soon learned that Connor Dillon Carr, 29, of 15 Meeting St., Newport, was at the apartment along with a woman who has a court ordered no-contact order against him.

Police said the woman who originally filed the larceny report at first told officers Carr was there. She then told a detective following up on the case that he wasn’t, but agreed to come to the station to close out the larceny case.

Police said she never showed up. More investigation confirmed for police that Carr was with the female who has the no-contact order against him and they even spent the night together at her house in Massachusetts.

Eventually, police spoke with the woman with the no-contact order, who said she thought the order was dismissed but she said “she never received any paperwork saying this,” police said.

Carr was seen walking near the Stop and Shop on Bellevue Avenue by police on Tuesday and was eventually arrested on the sidewalk near Memorial Boulevard and Chapel Street.
