(WNY News Now) – Jamestown, NY – In the early hours of April 23, 2024, Jamestown City police officers intervened in a domestic dispute at a south side address, resulting in the arrest of a 25-year-old woman for violating a stay-away order of protection.
At approximately 12:11 am, officers from the third platoon were dispatched to the scene following reports of a domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, it was determined that Dominique Z Barr had breached a court-issued stay-away order. Despite Barr’s departure prior to the officers’ arrival, law enforcement located them nearby.

The charges brought against Barr include Criminal Contempt in the 1st Degree, reflecting the violation of the court order, and Obstructing Governmental Administration in the 2nd Degree, relating to the resistance encountered during the arrest process.
