A 21-year-old inmate from Beacon, New York, has been charged with violating a protective order while incarcerated at the Dutchess County Justice and Transition Center in Poughkeepsie.
The incident happened on Friday, October 19, when Brandon Mima allegedly contacted someone he was legally required to stay away from.
This contact reportedly occurred through both telephone and video communications, which are restricted under the protective order.
According to Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office Capt. John Watterson, Mima now faces charges including an aggravated family offense and two counts of criminal contempt.
