Milton man arrested twice in two days for violating order of protection

The Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office arrested 54-year-old Daryl R. Belanger of Milton for violating an order of protection in the Town of Milton on Rowland Street on Friday, and once again on Saturday after initially being released on his own recognizance.

Authorities say Belanger is accused of violating the order of protection against him, and committing a specified offense under the statute.

He was charged with first-degree criminal contempt and an aggravated family offense, said the Sheriff’s Office.

The Sheriff’s Office noted that the criminal contempt charge was elevated to a felony due to a previous conviction within the last five years.

After being arrested on Friday and released, he violated the order again at the same residence, said the Sheriff’s Office. Belanger was arrested again for the same offenses as he was located laying in the woods across the street from the protected party’s residence.

He was arraigned and remanded to Saratoga County Jail in lieu of bail pending further action.
