Hardwick Lawyer Donald Stolgitis Accused of Landlord Ruse, Violating Restraining Order
“A Hardwick lawyer was arrested for the second time this year after he allegedly violated a restraining order by sending his former girlfriend a legal form letter using their landlord as an unknowing go-between,” reports Kim Ring in Worcester’s Telegram.
“Donald W. Stolgitis, 51, of Avalon Drive, West Brookfield, was in court Thursday to face a charge of violation of a restraining order after his girlfriend, who still lives in the rented home they shared, received a notice to quit, essentially ordering her out of the house for nonpayment of rent, court records show.”
“Stolgitis was ordered in February to have no contact with her, even through a third party.”
“Michelle Valley said she was immediately suspicious of the notice because the certified letter arrived in a pink envelope like the one Stolgitis told her he’d forgotten at his father’s house when he presented her with a valentine card in February, according to a police report. Pink is her favorite color, she wrote, adding that she saw the move as intimidating.”
