Provoking: An Adams Street resident said two people living across the hall from him are trying to get him arrested for violating a protection order, Sunday.

He said it’s been an ongoing issue and said the other two “have been making derogatory statements … toward (him) and his children as well as his wife,” and wanted police to know what they were up to before they tried to have him “wrongfully arrested for unintentionally violating a protection order.” Police spoke with the other couple, and said the woman claimed she was outside when she saw the man so she began recording him “due to his alleged recent actions.” They were advised to stay away from the man.
