PFA violation alleged: Gary Mariani, 66, who lists addresses of Jefferson Avenue and Whitetail Drive, Washington, was arraigned Monday before District Judge David Mark on a charge of violating a protection-from-abuse order obtained by his estranged wife from Senior Judge John Reed after he allegedly contacted her over the weekend. He was released after posting $10,000 bond. Chartiers police said this is the second time in three weeks he violated a PFA order.
