MITCHELL – A Mitchell man was arrested after Mitchell Police officers stopped a vehicle with two people inside that had an active protective order in place preventing them from being together.
The officers stopped the vehicle at the intersection of Hancock Avenue and 5th Street.
Police said the female driver of the vehicle was clearly agitated and was throwing her hands up in the air.
Officers said 41-year-old Brian Mattingly was the passenger in the vehicle. He was asked to step out of the vehicle and was detained.
Mattingly was asked about the protective order and he responded that he knew there was one in place. Mattingly told the officer the female driver was taking him to a class he was court-ordered to attend because of a previous domestic battery incident.
Mattingly was arrested on a felony charge of invasion of privacy.
