Chef Justin Sutherland Charged with Violating Order

Celebrity chef Justin Sutherland was arrested for violating a domestic abuse no-contact order just days after pleading guilty to felony threats of violence against the same woman. The arrest occurred after an officer spotted Sutherland with the woman at a Target store in St. Paul, despite a court order prohibiting contact. Sutherland's attorney stated that the woman visited him to discuss a family matter, and he did not refuse her company, although he acknowledged it was against the order. Sutherland had previously been arrested in June for domestic violence allegations, including choking the woman and threatening her with a gun. He is currently being held in Ramsey County Jail, with sentencing set for December, where the Ramsey County Attorney's Office has requested the no-contact order remain in place until then. This situation adds to Sutherland's legal troubles, as he faces further consequences for this recent violation.
