A Coralville man has been charged with several contempt citations after allegedly holding in-jail visits with the woman who has a no-contact order against him.

According to the criminal complaints, a Johnson County deputy had it brought to his attention by a third party that an inmate, identified as 28-year-old Damien Gilchrist of 20^th Avenue Place, contacted his protected party from the jail. The deputy looked at Gilchrist’s visitation history and found multiple visits with the victim. The dates discovered were April 7^th, 8^th, twice on the 10^th, April 12^th, twice on April 13^th, twice on April 14^th, and on April 19^th.

Gilchrist faces a minimum seven days in jail for each violation, and a possible fine.
