A Moravia man is facing several charges after he allegedly used a hatchet to try to break down a door at the residence of a woman who had an order of protection against him.
Everett W. Thompson III, 34, was met by Cayuga County Sheriff's Office deputies at about 9:30 a.m. Oct. 21 standing on the roof of a house in the village, the office said in a news release. After talking him down, deputies learned from residents of the house that a woman there had a relationship with Thompson with an extensive history of domestic violence, including the order of protection.

Deputies further learned that Thompson, who was on probation for a previous arrest, entered the garage area and attempted to break down the door, the sheriff's office said. His behavior was reported as being erratic and possibly under the influence of drugs.
Thompson was charged with the felony of aggravated family offense and the misdemeanors of fourth-degree criminal mischief and second-degree criminal contempt. He was transported to the Public Safety Building for processing and turned over the Cayuga County Jail, where he was arraigned in CAP court. He was remanded to the jail with no bail.
