Two police reports in the case describe two alleged incidents in which Blue violated a court order barring him from contact with a 26-year-old woman.

The woman reported on Jan. 4 that she saw Blue outside of an Oak Harbor church. She said he was hiding behind a tree and revealed himself, motioning for her to come over to him.

Then on Feb. 27, Blue followed the woman inside of Kmart and attempted to talk to her, a police report states.
