A 31-year-old man was arrested twice last night, the second time for almost immediately violating the court orders from the first incident.
Police were called to the Mount Pearl area around 11:15 last night to reports of an assault.
The man was arrested, and was released with a future court date and orders to stay away from the victim.
A short while later, police were informed that the accused had contacted the victim. He was arrested once again, and this time was held for a court appearance today.
