ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) – Days after pleading guilty to a domestic violence case, renowned Twin Cities chef Justin Sutherland is back in jail after police say he violated a court order.

Back in June, Sutherland was arrested by St. Paul police after officers responded to a report of a man with a gun outside a home on Front Avenue.

The victim told police Sutherland pointed the gun at her, threatened to shoot her, choked her and hit her in the chest with the gun.

This week, Sutherland accepted a plea deal in the case that included terms that Sutherland would serve two years of probation and 100 hours of community service. However, it should be noted that Sutherland's official sentencing date is not until December.

What's new?

According to St. Paul police, Sutherland was arrested Thursday for violating a court order.

An officer working at the Midway Target apparently saw Sutherland with a woman he is not allowed to have contact with under a no-contact order.

The off-duty officer notified officers on patrol, who confirmed that there was no active domestic violence contact order. Sutherland was arrested at another nearby store.

Sutherland is being held in the Ramsey County Jail.
