Local man with domestic charges reduced at hearing
Tomas Acevedo 33 faced a reduced bond after a magistrate ordered jail stay for violating a restraining order within days of serving a battering sentence. District Judge Thomas Richardson lowered bond to 50000 own recognizance, imposed no contact with wife and four children, and Acevedo faces five misdemeanor counts plus a scheduled trial. Cecelia Acevedo testified to threats and store visits that violated protections. Police were alerted after he left her presence, and county officials indicate miscommunication between city and district courts helped shape the case.
