A judge recently sent an Oak Harbor man to prison for nearly four years after he violated a court order.
Peter Davis, 31, pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court May 11 to felony violation of a no-contact order. The crime of violating a no-contact or restraining order becomes a felony at the third or subsequent violation.
In May, a Department of Corrections officer saw Davis walking out of Safeway with an ex-girlfriend who had a domestic-violence restraining order against him. She reported it to police.
Davis received an especially lengthy prison term because of his criminal history, which consists of a theft and five forgery convictions in King and Thurston counties.
On July 14, Judge Alan Hancock went along with the sentence recommendation from the prosecution and defense and sentenced Davis to three years and 11 months in prison.
Hancock also imposed a new domestic-violence no-contact order barring Davis from coming within 100 feet of the woman or her family’s home or residence when he gets out of prison.
