Man Jailed in Restraining Order Wedding
Posted on: Wednesday, 29 June 2005, 00:00 CDT
SPOKANE, Wash. - When Rachel Dunham took out a restraining order against her boyfriend, she didn't expect to be marrying him a short time later. So instead of honeymooning in Mexico, Rodney Tomsha sits in the Spokane County Jail, accused of violating the order by getting within two blocks of Dunham.
He tried to persuade a Spokane judge last week to lift the restraining order, but the judge refused.
The couple were married last Thursday in nearby Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Spokane police Detective Stephanie Barkley said.
Police received a tip about a Saturday wedding reception at a Spokane mansion, waited until the reception was over and then arrested Tomsha, 49, police spokesman Dick Cottam said.
Dunham, 25, had obtained the order after two reports of domestic violence were investigated by Barkley last year. In addition, Dunham was arrested on June 17 for investigation of domestic violence against Tomsha, police said.
Another court hearing seeking removal of the protection order was scheduled for Wednesday.
