NEW YORK - A man in the US has been arrested after he sent his estranged wife a friendship request on social networking site Facebook, despite a court’s restraining order.

Harry Bruder of Hudson, Florida, was served with a restraining order in June from his wife, Carole Jean Bruder, over allegations of domestic violence, the Herald Sun reported Tuesday.

The restraining order prohibited Harry from having face-to-face contact with his wife as well as electronic communication.

Carole called the police Monday after she found that Harry had sent her two friend requests on the social networking website.

When police went to Bruder’s apartment, he admitted sending the requests. “Yeah, I did it,” he said.

Bruder is being held in jail on a $5,000 bail for violating the restraining order.
