POTSDAM – A Potsdam man was charged with violating an order of protection when he drove a snowmobile around his father’s yard yelling obscenities early Tuesday.

St. Lawrence County Sheriff’s deputies charged Brenden W. Narrow, 21, of 111 Sissonville Rd., with second-degree criminal contempt and harassment.

Deputies responded at 12:45 a.m. after receiving a complaint that Narrow had been riding around his father’s yard yelling at and engaging in an argument with his father.
