FELTON, Del. — A Felton man already in custody on domestic violence charges is facing new criminal counts after police say he attempted to contact a protected victim from within Sussex Correctional Institution. According to the Felton Police Department, officers responded at 6:44 a.m. on June 19 to a reported violation of a Protection from Abuse (PFA) order and a no-contact order involving 45-year-old Steven Huey Sr. Investigators say physical evidence confirmed Huey attempted to reach the woman, despite active court orders prohibiting any communication. The case was investigated in coordination with correctional staff.
Huey has now been charged with criminal contempt of a domestic violence protective order, classified as a Class A misdemeanor, and noncompliance with conditions of recognizance bond or conditions, a Class G felony. He was video arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court and remains in custody. Court records show Huey was previously arrested in April on domestic-related charges, at which time the PFA and no-contact order were issued. He was charged again in May with stalking following reports of multiple violations of the same court orders. At that time, his bail was set at $62,000. Police say the protective orders remain active. The latest case remains under investigation.
