A Cayuga County man is behind bars after deputies say he violated an order of protection during a domestic incident.

Sheriff Brian Schenck says deputies responded to a home in the Town of Victory around 9:45 a.m. on August 7 for a reported domestic dispute. Investigators learned the victim had an active order of protection against 28-year-old John Burns, and determined Burns violated it.

Burns was arrested and charged with first-degree criminal contempt, a felony. He was arraigned in Cayuga County CAP Court and remanded to jail without bail.
