Police received the report on Aug. 26.<\/p>\n
The complaint says the case involved calls made from a jail-issued phone to Community Consignments.<\/p>\n
The protection order barred Meekma from contacting an employee at the business.<\/p>\n
The source stated Meekma remained incarcerated when the case was reported.<\/p>\n
It also noted that he was later sentenced in the same case.<\/p>\n
Sentencing details were not included in the material provided.<\/p>\n
Jail Calls Detailed in Complaint<\/h2>\n
According to the complaint, jail records showed calls to the store at 5:53 p.m. and 5:56 p.m.<\/p>\n
During the second recorded call, Meekma allegedly asked another employee to leave a note for the protected person.<\/p>\n
Authorities then blocked the store’s phone number from Meekma’s jail-issued phone.<\/p>\n
The report does not state that Meekma directly reached the protected person during those store calls.<\/p>\n
Instead, the complaint alleges he tried to pass along a message through another employee.<\/p>\n
