Criminal History
In 2013, Obest was arrested for violation of a protective order in Hartford County, Maryland. Obest was ordered to stay away from his ex-wife’s residence, yet he ignored the court’s order and visited her residence anyway. Then, in 2014, Obest was found to be in violation of probation because he failed to follow his probation officer’s lawful instructions.
In March of 2015, Obest was found guilty of one count of violation of a protective order. Meanwhile, in February of 2015, Obest violated another temporary protective order by contacting his ex-wife while in custody and “harassing” her. He “coached [his exwife] on what to say if anyone asked about his phone calls.” Ultimately, he was again found guilty of violation of a protective order in 2017. And in 2018, Obest was once again arrested for violation of a post-trial release condition. In that instance, Obest went to his exwife’s home and “yelled” at her.
