NEW LONDON — Suspended New London police officer Julio Gil-Martinez was arrested Thursday evening for allegedly violating a protective order, just weeks after facing domestic violence charges.

In addition to the violation of the protective order, Gil-Martinez was also charged with disorderly conduct and second-degree criminal mischief. He was held on $100,000 bail pending his arraignment on Friday. The officer was previously placed on administrative leave after his arrest in connection with domestic violence.
