The order was signed on Friday after authorities visited the singer’s neighborhood in the northern coastal city of Dorado to try to fulfill the order, police spokesman Axel Valencia said. “Until now, the police have not been able to find him,” Mr Valencia said. A publicist for the Livin’ La Vida Loca singer did not immediately return a message seeking comment. It is not known who sought the restraining order, and further details have not been released because the order was filed under Puerto Rico’s domestic violence law. El Vocero newspaper reports that the order states that Martin and the other party were in a relationship for seven months before breaking up two months ago. The report cites the order that the petitioner alleges that Martin did not accept the separation and was seen near the petitioner’s home at least three times. “The petitioner fears for his safety,” the El Vocero order states. Mr. Valencia said the order prohibits Martin from contacting or calling the person who filed it, and that a judge will decide later at a hearing whether it will remain in place or be lifted. He also noted that the person seeking the restraining order did not contact the police, who would have involved prosecutors to determine whether there was enough evidence to file charges. He probably went straight to court.
