A Simsboro man was arrested Monday after he allegedly violated a protective order by harassing a neighbor.
Sarnell M. Baldwin, 32, was arrested April 13 after Lincoln Parish deputies responded to a Hwy. 80 residence in Simsboro regarding the protective order.
A woman told deputies that Baldwin had been harassing her by repeatedly driving by her home while she was waiting for her ride. She said he honks at her when she is walking through the neighborhood and repeatedly drives by her.
Baldwin is subject to a protective order to stay away from the woman.
Baldwin was located by deputies at his residence in the same neighborhood as the victim. He said he was aware of the protective order. When asked about driving in front of her home, he said he had to go to work. The deputy noted in a report that there are two ways to exit the neighborhood and Baldwin chose the exit that takes him by the woman’s house.
Baldwin was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for violation of the protective order.
