A man from the Solsberry area, who was first arrested and charged last August with intimidation for allegedly making threats against his own parents, is back in jail. He was in court earlier today, accused of violating a protective order by sending a text message to a parent telling her to “don’t ever call the police on me again … or I will take everything you’ve ever earned…”

Justin Dale Leon Franklin, 22, was arrested the second time last Wednesday, March 13, by Greene County Sheriff’s Deputy David Elmore. The jail record listed Franklin with an address in Fishers but he was staying at the parental home in Solsberry at the time of this arrest.

Deputy Elmore spoke to Franklin’s mother at the sheriff’s department on Monday, March 11, when she reported that Franklin had been texting her, despite a protective order that ordered him to have no contact with her as a condition of his release on bond. The parent was able to show multiple text messages from Franklin.

When GCSD Deputies Elmore and Jordan Gooding, later joined by Harvey Holt, arrived at the parent’s home on Wednesday, March 13, when Franklin came to the door, Deputy Elmore told Franklin he was going to jail for violating the protective order.

According to a probable cause affidavit prepared by Elmore, Franklin said, “All right, hold on,” then turned and ran into the residence. When Elmore followed, Franklin allegedly tossed a broken door at him to block his path then ran into a bedroom closet where he sat on the floor with his hands up, refusing to come out of the closet.

Deputies pulled Franklin out of the closet and escorted him outside where he allegedly attempted to get loose and started yelling and screaming uncontrollably.

Once Franklin calmed down, he was read Miranda Rights which he twice said he didn’t understand. He also allegedly told Elmore that once he’s in jail, he will cause problems.

Franklin was held without bond pending his appearance in court.

On Monday morning, he was formally charged with invasion of privacy in violation of a protective order, a Class A misdemeanor, and resisting law enforcement, a Class A misdemeanor.

His bond was set at $5,000 surety with ten percent cash allowed.

However, in the previous case, due to the violation of the terms of his release, a petition to revoke bond was filed and approved so he’s being held without bond in the earlier case and as of Monday afternoon, is still in the Greene County Jail.
