A Schuylkill County man was arrested on Monday for violating a protection from abuse order.

State police at Frackville said Thomas Hamlett, 28, of Mahanoy City, violated the order by making contact with a 27-year-old woman and a 2-year-old girl, both of Mahanoy City.

He was arraigned before District Judge Anthony Kilker of Shenandoah and released on $25,000 unsecured bail.
