On Nov. 28, York County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested Ron Colson, 57, of Acton on a warrant charging 11 counts of violating conditions of release — by calling the courthouse.
Colson had been originally arrested on Nov. 3 and charged with six counts of harassment by telephone — after allegedly calling the courthouse “incessantly,” according to York County Sheriff William King. At that time, Colson was released on $500 bail with the condition that he not contact the courts in a harassing manner, King said.
During November, Colson allagedly continued to contact the courts numerous times and he was subsequently charged with 11 counts of violating his conditions of release.
Colson’s motive in allegedly repeatedly calling the courts is unclear.
At his appearance Monday at York County Superior Court, Justice Daniel Driscoll ordered Colson held without bail. His next court appearance is set for Feb. 7, according to information provided by the court.
