PETITION FOR PROTEC~ION ORDER
AND CUSTODY
RELIEF UNDER THE PROTECTION FROM ABUSE
ACT, 23 Pa.C.S. I 6101 et seq.
A. ABUSE
1. The plaintiff, Deborah L. Gordon, is an adult
individual residing at 12 W. Main Street, P.O. Box 202,
Plainfield, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17081.
2. The defendant, Theodore P. Gordon, III, (SSN: 073-64-
0944)(Date of Birth: 6/8/64), is an adult individual currently at
the VA Medical Center, Ward 183B, 1700 S. Lincoln Avenue,
Lebanon, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, 17004, where he
voluntarily committed himself.
3. The defendant is the plaintiff's husband.
4. Since approximately January 1, 1995, the defendant has
attempted to cause and has intentionally, knowingly, or
recklessly caused bodily injury to the plaintiff, has physically
abused the minor c~ildren, Cody and Corynne Rombe~Jer, has placed
the plaintiff in reasonable fear of imminent serious bodily
injury, and has knowingly engaged in a course of conduct or
1
repeatedly committed acts toward the plaintiff and the minor
children under circumstances which have placed the plaintiff and
the children in reasonable fear of bodily injury. This has
included, but iB not limited to, the following specific instances
of abuse:
a. On or about Decembcr 11, 1996, the defendant,
while behind the plaintiff, put her in a headlock and
repeatedly punched her causing her to have a broken
nose, two black eyes, and a laceration to the head
which required approximately seven stitches. While the
plaintiff was bleeding profusely, the defendant grabbed
her, threw her into a wall preventing her from going to
the hospital. Whcn the defendant w~s distracted, the
plaintiff ran to her car to flee to safety, and the
defendant jumped onto the hood to try to stop her
escape. Finally, whcn the defendant realized she was
not going to get out of the car, he got off of the
hood, and the plaintiff left the residence and went to
the Carlisle Hospital. The Carlisle Police charged
the defendant with assault and arrested him.
On or about December 14, 1996, the defendant
admitted to Trooper ~Iorst of the Carlisle Police that
if he could hurt the plaintiff in that way, then he
feared th~t he could have also done it to the baby,
Devon Nash-Gordon, causing the plaintiff to fear for
2
, ,
her son's safety.
b. On or about November 11, 1996, the defendant
became angry and forcefully knocked a can out of the
plaintiff's hand causing her to fear for her safety.
When the plaintiff picked up the phone to call for
help, the defendant grabbed the phone out of her hand
cauaing her to fear and flee to safety at a neighbor's
home.
c. In or about July 1996, the defendant forcefully
flipped the plaintiff's son, Cody Romberger, onto a bed
causing him to cry and her to fear for his safety.
Later that day, the plaintiff came out of their
bathroom and the defendant while cleaning his shot gun,
pointed it at the plaintiff causing her to fear. When
the plaintiff told him not to point the gun at her, the
defendant Raid he knew what he was doing asserting that
the gun wasn't loaded. Later the plaintiff heard a gun
shot and when she ran upstairs, she saw a hole in the
wall of her daughter's room and realized that her
daughter who was crying and complaininl that her arm
stung, had been hit with fragments which flew from the
wall as a result of the shot. At the plaintiff's
insistence, the defendant turned his guns over to his
brother.
d. In or about December 1995, the defendant beca.e
3
angry at the plaintiff's son, Cody Romberger, picked
him up, and threw onto a couch with such force that it
rocked the couch and caused the child to cry such that
the plaintiff feared for her son's safety.
e. In or about October 1995, the defendant called the
plaintiff vile names and forcefully slapped her cauaing
her to hit her head on a wall which resulted in her
having swelling to her head and a headache for several
days.
f. In or about January 1995, the defendant forcefully
shoved the plaintiff's son, Cody Romberger, from behind
causing him to fall to the floor and cry, and causing
the plaintiff to fear for her son's safety.
5. The plaintiff believes and therefore avers that she and
the minor children are in immediate and present danger of abuse
from the defendant should they remain in the home without the
defendant's exclusion and that they are in need of protection
from such abuse.
6. The plaintiff desires that the defendant be enjoined
from harasaing and stalking the plaintiff, and from harassing the
plaintiff's relatives, or the minor children.
7. The plaintiff desires that the defendant be restrained
from entering her place of employment and the schools and day
care facility of the minor children.
8. The plaintiff desires that the defendant be enjoined
4
from removing, dama.in., destroyin. or selling any property owned
solely by the plaintiff.
B. EXCLUSIVE POSSESSION
9. The home from which the plaintiff is aRkin, the Court
to exclude the defendant is rented in the names of the plaintiff
and the defendant, but the defendant voluntarily moved out on or
about December 14, 1996.
10. The defendant is now at the VA Medical Center where he
voluntarily committed himself.
11. The plaintiff currently has no place to stay with her
children except the marital home, and the defendant has
voluntarily left the'residence.
12. The plaintiff desires possession of the home so as to
give the greatest degree of continuity to the lives of the
children and to allow Cody and Corynne Romberger to continue
their shared weekly custody arran3ement with their father and
their education at their school and to continue their school and
social activities.
~ LOSSES AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR COST OF CASE

abuse by the defendant. The losses are listed on Exhibit A
