BATAVIA, N.Y. — A New York state man has been arrested for getting too close to his bride on their wedding day.
Timothy Cole quarreled with a wedding guest at a party Friday after wedding his ex-wife in Batavia, police said.
Officers knew the 45-year-old Cole from previous arrests and realized his bride had an order of protection against him. Cole was charged with first-degree criminal contempt, a felony, and ordered jailed without bail.
Cole was convicted of criminal contempt on July 1, the Daily News in Batavia reported.
The Genesee County public defender's office said Cole hasn't been assigned an attorney.

Common sense here, please. Obviously, if the bride (former PFA holder) didn't want him near, she wouldn't have consented to the wedding. So, let's charge the guy with a felony? Does the Niagra Falls PD have nothing better to do? How much will this cost tax payers?
My advice - drop the case NOW! PFA's are meaningless in a case where the complaintant is within proximity to the subject consentually. She was marrying him again!
Dumb prosecutor up here.
