A North Carolina man was extradited to Charles County after allegedly breaking a protective order over 100 times during the last several months.
According to a press release from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office, officers assigned to the Judicial Services Domestic Violence Unit recently discovered that Dennis Lee Jalbert, who is wanted in connection with 111 violations of a domestic-related protective order, is in North Carolina.
Officers contacted the Charles County State’s Attorney’s Office, which agreed to extradite the individual to Charles.
Charles sheriff’s officers notified the local police agency in North Carolina, who located and detained Jalbert.
This case was launched in April 2024 after a lady got a protective order against Jalbert, 44, of Rocky Mount, North Carolina, according to the release.
The woman lived in Charles County, according to the announcement.
After the injunction was granted, Jalbert persistently called and texted the woman over the next six months.
According to charging documents, the order against Jalbert was issued on February 5 of this year and will remain in effect until February 5, 2025.
According to the charging documents for Jalbert’s April offenses, the lady he was communicating is his child’s mother.
According to the records, Jalbert allegedly demanded that the woman react to him after asking how to improve things.
In April, the woman stated that she hoped the communication would end, but it didn’t. According to the criminal documents, Jalbert allegedly sent emails to the woman and completed many CashApp transactions with the statement, “Call me and I will double it.”
According to the documents, Jalbert approached the woman in August, stating, “I am in Maryland, would you like to get some tgifriday [sic] or something idk…”
Jalbert allegedly utilized Facebook Messenger to contact the woman. According to the criminal documents, he allegedly followed up on those contact attempts by cursing the woman and telling her that he wanted nothing to do with her.
Officers took 11 reports this year, each of which is reported as a distinct case in the Maryland Judiciary Search, and got eight arrest warrants. Three criminal summonses have also been issued, according to the announcement.
The charges include several violations of a protection order, harassment, and telephone abuse.
Jalbert was extradited from North Carolina to Charles County in October, and on Oct. 10, a district court commissioner freed him on an unsecured $1,500 bond. The trial date is set for November 26.
