ROCKWELL — Authorities say a Rockwell man used the 911 emergency system to harass an ex-partner after they took out a 50B protective order against him.

Rockwell Police Chief Cody Trexler said that Christopher James Cook, 42, called 911 on Aug. 15 and said there was a physical domestic disturbance at his ex-partner’s place of residence. The call was placed at 4 a.m.

Cook was arrested on Friday by the Rowan County Sheriff’s Department and charged with misuse of the 911 emergency telephone system in relation to the call as well as violation of a 50B protective order and assault on a female. The assault and violation charges stem from private warrants taken out against Cook by the victim.

A 50B protective order is a restraining order that is specifically given to victims of domestic violence.

Cook was previously charged with injury to personal property stemming from an incident on August 3. Trexler said that Cook allegedly used his car to strike the victim’s car and trash can, causing a dent in the victim’s car.
