A Painted Post man has been sentenced to state prison after admitting to violating an order of protection and threatening a protected individual.
Schuyler County District Attorney Jeremy Hourihan announced that 43-year-old Trevor Dobson pleaded guilty in Schuyler County Court on March 26 to Criminal Contempt in the First Degree, a Class E felony.
According to prosecutors, Dobson admitted that he communicated with a protected party in violation of an active order of protection. Authorities said the communication was intended to place the protected person in fear of physical injury or death.
