Cops arrest woman while eating dinner with protected party in no-contact order

MASON CITY – When a judge issues a no-contact order, the judge means business and so does law enforcement, as a local couple found out Monday night.

A Plymouth woman, 29-year-old Ashley Joanne Dewaard was arrested and charged with domestic abuse assault back on January 31 after an incident at her Plymouth home. She had alleged to police that her “ex” was in the home and refused to leave. However, law enforcement investigated and she was arrested and charged with first offense domestic abuse assault. A no-contact order was put in place by a judge, mandating that Dewaard have no contact whatsoever with the alleged male victim.

However, according to a police spokesman, Mason City police were alerted around 8:11 PM Monday night that Dewaard “was eating with the protected party of a protective order at a Mason City restaurant.”

Police went to Whiskey Creek, 1519 4th Street SW, “arrived, saw the two together, verified the no-contact order was still valid, and arrested Dewaard without incident.”

Dewaard was taken to jail Monday night and held there until Tuesday afternoon when she saw a judge. At that hearing, she entered a not guilty plea to the domestic abuse charge. She now faces a March 10 hearing for a new charge of contempt of court, which typically carries a 7 day jail sentence if she is found guilty. She will face a hearing and a jury trial in May in connection with the domestic abuse case.
