A 47-year-old man threatened and stalked a woman a month after he was issued a judge’s restraining order not to do either of those things, Darien police said. Police described what happened with this account, including accusations not proven in court:

The man, whose last known address was in Stamford, was issued the restraining order by a judge in state Superior Court in Stamford on June 29. The order stated in part: “Do not contact the protected party in any manner” and “do not threaten, abuse, harass, follow, interfere or stalk the protected person.”

At about 9:10 a.m., Aug. 1, the woman went to Police Headquarters and told police that, according to a police news release, “she had received a notification email from a popular online app indicating that [the man] started ‘following’ the victim on line on or about July 18.” The woman said that the man threatened her and also had been seen driving by a department store numerous times on July 2, when she was shopping there.
