location: 6591 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, PA, the marital residence.
On or about November 24, 2000, Defendant, who moved out of the marital residence on or about
November 20, 2000, returned to the residence, questioned Plaintiff as to her whereabouts, stood
close to her and yelled in her face, called her names, and waved his arms about causing her to
fear for her safety, and when she tried to get away from him, he followed her about the house
yelling at her and calling her names.
21. Prior incidents of abuse that the Defendant has committed against PlaintilT or the minor childlren,
(including any threats, injuries, or incidents of stalking) are as follows:
During the week of November 20, 2000, Defendant telephoned Plaintill's cellular telephone and
left vulgar me~sages and threatened that she should watch her back and watch her ass.
Defendant also telephoned Plaintiff at her place of employment several times daily and made
vulgar comments to her, and when she was not available to speak to, Defendant questionned
Plain tilT's co-worken about her activities.
On or about November 17, 2000, Defendant entered Plaintill's bedroom shook her and
awakened her, leaned down close to her face and yelled at her, calling her vile names.
On or about October 14, 2000, Defendant went to the home of Plaintill's friends when he saw
her vehicle parked there, knocked on the door and windows repeatedly, demanded that she come
out, and when Plain tilT's friends did not respond, Defendant telephoned their residence several
times and left messages on their answering machine telling Plaintiff to come out of the house and
talk with him. Later the same day, after Defendant realized that Plain tilT was not at her friends'
house, he telephoned Plaintiff at her place of employment, described how he had stalked her,
