On Monday, the Bath Police Department responded to an apartment building on West Washington Street in the Village of Bath following a report of an order of protection violation.
The protected party and a witness informed officers that Celestino Nieves violated a complete stay-away order of protection. Police noted the order of protection had been issued after Nieves allegedly threatened the victim with a knife in late April.
At approximately 4:27 p.m., officers arrested Nieves, 32, of Bath. He was charged with second-degree Criminal Contempt, a class A misdemeanor.
Nieves was processed and transported to the Steuben County Jail, where he was subsequently released without bail.
