Ortega admitted he held his girlfriend in the home until police were outside. A man called police after he knocked on Ortega's door and Ortega pointed a gun at him, court documents state. Deputy Salt Lake County district attorney Alexander Redmon asked the judge to order a continuous protective order, which would require Ortega to not contact the victim in the case, directly or indirectly, while he is in prison and afterward.
