HELOTES, Texas — A man accused of violating a protective order was in and out of jail in just a few hours. 

Helotes Police say Christipher Benavides, 45, showed up at a counselor's office where a young victim of family violence was receiving therapy. 

The arrest affidavit says Benavides was caught on camera causing a disturbance, screaming threats and scaring the child. 

"The therapist said during the therapy session with the victim, the victim could hear Benavides screaming outside the door and became nervous and positioned himself in such a way that he could watch the door," the affidavit states. 

Benavides's bond was set at $3,000.
