Man arrested for violating No-Contact Order day after domestic violence arrest

A Plymouth man was arrested Tuesday night for violating a no-contact order less than an hour after being released on bond from jail on domestic battery charges.

Jose Ramirez-Padilla, 47, was taken into custody at his residence at 800 West Garro Street—the same address where he was arrested Monday night for domestic battery and strangulation.

Officer Fisher with the Plymouth Police Department recognized Ramirez-Padilla's vehicle at the Garro Street address at approximately 10:25 p.m. on Tuesday, January 6th. The officer observed the vehicle returning from the direction of the jail.

Officer Fisher followed the vehicle to the Garro Street residence and was able to identify Ramirez-Padilla at the location with the female victim from Monday's domestic battery incident.

A no-contact order had been issued prohibiting Ramirez-Padilla from having any contact with the victim following his arrest Monday night.

Officer Fisher waited for additional units to arrive before approaching the residence. When officers made contact, the female victim answered the door and reported that Ramirez-Padilla had fled through the front door.

The victim gave officers permission to search the house. Officers found Ramirez-Padilla hiding under a sleeping bag in the front room.

He was taken into custody for invasion of privacy and transported to Marshall County Jail, where he was booked at 11:00 p.m. on a $500 cash bond.

This is Ramirez-Padilla's second arrest in two days at the same location.
