Uxbridge man charged with violating restraining order for friending protected party on Facebook

UXBRIDGE โ€“ On Monday, Aug. 10, 2026, at approximately 11:10 a.m., Uxbridge Police Officer Michael White responded to a residence on Douglas Street to take a report of a restraining order violation.

When Officer White arrived on scene, he said he met with a woman who informed him that she received a Facebook friend request from Jake DeLang.

According to police, Jake Everett DeLang, 26, is a resident of Uxbridge, MA.

Officer White said DeLang had been served with a restraining order by Uxbridge Police Officer Peter Gallerani on or around March 24, 2026. The order, which expires on March 24, 2027, prohibits DeLang from contacting the reporting party.

โ€œI had [the reporting party] fill out a voluntary statement about the incident and what made her believe that the Facebook was his,โ€ Officer White said. โ€œ[She] said that the Facebook profile had his picture and she believes he may be at a rehab facility not following the rules.โ€

Officer White said the reporting party told him she had screenshots of the account from when it sent her a friend request. She said the profile picture had since been changed, but she recognized the account as belonging to DeLang.

Officer White said that due to DeLangโ€™s attempted contact with the protected party and the protected partyโ€™s sworn statement, he requested that a summons be issued charging DeLang with the following:

  • Violation of a Restraining Order: โ€œJake Delang violated Section 2 of the abuse prevention order by contacting [the protected party] through Facebook,โ€ Officer White explained.
