The order was signed Friday and authorities visited an upscale neighborhood in the northern coastal city of Dorado, where the singer lives, to try to fulfill the order, police spokesman Axel Valencia told The Associated Press. “Until now, the police have not been able to find him,” Valencia said. Martin’s publicist did not immediately return a message seeking comment. It was not immediately known who sought the restraining order. Valencia said she could not provide further details because the order was filed under Puerto Rico’s domestic violence law. El Vocero, a Puerto Rican newspaper, said the order states that Martin and the other party had been in a relationship for seven months. The report states that the order broke up two months ago, but the petitioner says Martin did not accept the breakup and was seen loitering near the petitioner’s home at least three times. “The petitioner fears for his safety,” the order said, El Vocero reported. AP has not received a copy of the order. Valencia said the order prohibits Martin from contacting or calling the person who filed it, and that a judge will decide later in a hearing whether the order should remain in place or be lifted. He added that orders usually take at least a month to complete. Valencia noted that the person who filed the restraining order did not contact police, which would involve prosecutors determining whether there was enough evidence to file charges. The request probably went straight to court.
