On June 26, 2021; Detective Sgt. Cody Bailey was contacted by a victim who stated her ex-husband, Thomas Kramer, 31, of Batesville, was violating the order of protection following incidents in Lonoke County, Arkansas.

After reviewing the text messages Kramer sent his victim; Detective Bailey called the number the text messages were coming from. Kramer answered the phone. Detective Bailey identified himself, at which time Kramer began to lament the situation between himself and the victims.

The following morning, Kramer met with Bailey and a post-Miranda interview was conducted with Kramer, after he agreed to answer questions. Kramer was reminded, a ten-year Final Order of Protection was in place. Kramer said he was aware of the order and that it had been explained to him in court.

Despite the ruling, Kramer insisted on contacting the victims. He was then placed under arrest and transported to the Sharp County Sheriff's Department.
