Rensselaer, IN – A local man faces multiple charges after allegedly violating a protective order.
According to Rensselaer Police reports the arrested 30-year-old Christopher Haynes on April 10 originated after he was reportedly seen outside a woman’s apartment on Kannal Street, despite previous charges of intimidation, invasion of privacy, and harassment against the same victim in 2023.
