According to the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office probable cause statement, Boyles had a protective order served to him out of Daviess County 43 Judicial Circuit Court on Dec. 10, 2020. Deputy Jason Melton spoke to Boyles regarding the order, telling him not to contact the petitioner (further known as D) in any way. Boyles stated that he intended to stay away and reported he had been served the ex parte order.
Boyles first violated the protection order through a third party when he messaged D’s mother about her, detailing that she didn’t need to worry about him anymore. Later, on Dec. 20, Boyles tried to friend request D on Facebook. Two days later, Boyles sent her a Facebook message stating, “I’m getting 4 years in prison over this. I’m truly sorry. I know I shouldn’t have anything to do with you please just let it go so I can have my life back and yours to. I never meant for this. Bye” This statement warranted the charge of tampering with a witness.
It was later noted in the report that Boyles had a third-degree domestic assault case pending in Livingston County in which D was the victim. Boyles had previously been convicted of domestic assault on Jun. 22, 2015, in Excelsior Springs and was arrested for the same thing on Sept. 2, 2017, in Kansas City.
A warrant was recently issued for Boyles on Jan. 12, with bond set at $10,000.
