5 were held:)
6 THE COURT: This is for, what, a PFA, or is
7 it a contempt issue?
8 MR. ROBINSON: Well, Your Honor, we had
9 originally filed a PFA, but as I understand it from my
10 client, there were some things that happened after the PFA.
11 THE COURT: Let me see what I am working on.
12 MR. ROBINSON: It is the original PFA, Your
13 Honor.
14 THE COURT: It is the original PFA?
15 MR. ROBINSON: It is the original PFA, and it
16 was served on the client. You will hear testimony as to his
17 conduct afterwards, which I don't know if you'll determine
18 whether or not that's contempt.
19 MS. HUGHES: Your Honor, nothing additional
20 has been filed other than the PFA,
21 THE COURT: I am just wondering, there is not
22 a contempt petition before me?
23 MR. ROBINSON: No,
24 THE COURT: And is this for the setting of an
25 order to begin with?

'"'
,-.,
r'
1 HR. ROBINSON: Yes.
2 THE COURT: Okay. And you are alleging that
3 he violated the temporary order?
4 HR. ROBINSON: Well, my client has advised me
5 that since the PFA was served on the defendant there's been
6 conduct which we want to bring to your attention, whether it
7 rises to --
8 THE COURT: Okay. But he is contesting the
9 continuation of the temporary order?
10 MS. HUGHES: Yes, Your Honor.
11 THE COURT: Now I understand where I am
12 headed. You may call your witness.
13 HR. ROBINSON: I call my first witness, Helen

15 Whereupon,
16 HELEN V. WARRICK,

18 DIRECT EXAMINATION
19 BY HR. ROBINSON:
20 Q Would you state your name and address for the
21 record, please.
22 A Helen V. Warrick, 177 Oak Hill Road,
23 Carlisle, Pennsylvania, 17013.
24 Q And with whom do you reside?
25 A With David Warrick and my children.
4
-.,
~
1 Q Do you have children?
2 A Yes, my four children.
3 Q And how old are they?
4 A Twelve, eight, seven and five.
5 Q Are you employed, Ms. Warrick?
6 A Well, I started my own cleaning business.
7 Q And how old are you?
8 A Twenty-nine.
9 Q Are you married to David Warrick?
10 A Yes, I am.
11 Q And when were you married?
12 A February 14th, 1992, I believe.
13 Q Now, you filed a petition seeking protection
14 from abuse. Can you explain to JUdge Bayley why you filed
15 this petition?
16 A Okay. On Wednesday, February 18th, my
17 husband came home approximately between 4:30 and 5:00 in the
18 morning. Normally he works until 6:00. I was sleeping on
19 the couch, and I woke up and he didn't realize I was awake,
20 He was going around the house looking for something, and so
21 I didn't pay any attention to it.
22 I got up and I went in my bedroom and got
23 ready for work. I had noticed that my wedding rings were
24 gone, and I confronted him about it. I asked him, I said,
25 where's my wedding bands? And he said, you're not getting
5
--
r
1 your f-in wedding bands back until you give me the $500.00
2 out of the joint account. And I said, well, whatever, and I
3 walked in the bathroom to comb my hair.
4 And I went to corne back out to get a cup of
5 coffee, and he stood in the doorway putting his arms on the
6 other side of the wall. And I said, Dave, let me go get a
7 cup of coffee, and then he said, no, and started pushing and
8 shoving me.
9 I got by him and I got in the middle of the
10 kitchen, and he grabbed me by the back of the arm and
11 scratched my face somehow trying to get key -- my car keys
12 out of my pocket. And that's when I had grabbed the phone
13 and called 911, and he grabbed it and hung up on them.
14 They called back and I tried to explain to
15 them what was going on and how to get there, and he was on
16 the other line just in a rage. And then after we got off
17 the phone with the police, he went out to the end of the
18 driveway to meet the police.
19 Q Now, did you have any bruises or contusions
20 as a result of this incident?
21 A Yeah. That morning I showed the police my
22 arm was red where he grabbed me at, and you really couldn't
23 see the scratch on my face but I felt it, and for a week
24 after that it was black and blue.
25 Q Had you filed for divorce?

iI,

,.....
1 A Yes, I have.
2 Q Well, he left that night and what happened
3 after that?
4 A When the police had left, he had said that he
5 was going to go cool off and never returned since.
6 Q Did he have any communications with you since
7 then?
8 A He called and talked to the boys a couple
9 times. He had called on February 23rd, it was approximately
10 1:00 p.m., and told me he was going to shut off the
11 electric, the phone, and the cable, et cetera. And I just
12 said whatever and gave the phone to my son, Billy, so he
13 could talk to his dad.
14 And then later that day, on the 23rd, he
15 called around 8:30 p.m. That's when the kids are in bed. I
16 answered the phone, and he told me that he was going to come
17 and get the boys on Wednesday and take them for a visit. I

25 entitled to it.
told him I didn't approve until the custody is settled, but
he is welcome to come out and visit with them. He told me
no because I was going to be there.
Then he started telling me he was going to
come out Sunday to get his clothes, dresser, TV, gun

~
r-.
1 I asked him when he was going to give me some
2 money to take care of the boys. He said, I'm not giving you
3 any f-in thing and it's all your fault this happened. Then
4 he said, if I have to take those boys from you I will. And
5 then I hung up the phone and he called back.
6 I told Josh, my son, to answer it, and Josh
7 said he didn't want to talk to him. Josh answered and
8 talked to him for about a minute and handed the phone to the
9 other boys. He talked to them for about ten minutes. When
10 David Lee hung up the phone, my 7-year-old son, he told me
11 that dad was going to call tomorrow.
12 Well, Tuesday, February 24th, Dave never
13 called. February 25th Dave called about 8:30 p.m., and they
14 were in bed again, and he talked to Josh, Cory, and David.
15 Billy was sleeping. Josh handed me the phone, and Dave told
16 me that he is still going to come out and get those things
17 and that I am to get rid of the boys.
18 I told him that I didn't approve until my
19 attorney gives the okay, but I would sit his clothes out for
20 him. And I have put his clothes out in the Ram Charger, and
21 they've been there and he hasn't come to get them, I told
22 him that he should have taken his stuff when he left, but I
23 would set them out. He told me that I forced him out, and I
24 told him that he brought it on himself and grabbed a hold of
25 me.

7 Q And why is that?
8 A My feeling is -- within the last year I feel

10 controlling, you know, just the screaming and yelling all
11 the time, and I just feel that he's becoming more like his
12 father.
13 Q Who does he scream and yell at?
14 A He screams at the kids. I have told him, you
15 know, repeatedly that you should talk to them and find out
16 what's going on, the situation, not, just punish them all and
17 scream and yell at them.
18 He has a habit of smacking their behinds and
19 slamming my oldest son up against ~he wall. I had told him,

9 CROSS EXAMINATION
10 BY MS. HUGHES:
11 Q Ms. Warrick, are you alleging that these
12 phone calls were inappropriate as far as the temporary order
13 is concerned?
14 A I don't know if they were -- I just know that
15 they are harassment. I didn't feel it was right.
16 Q What's that?
17 A I didn't feel harassment was right.
18 Q So by Mr. Warrick calling up and saying I
19 want to talk with my children, you consider that harassment?
20 A No. I left him talk to his children.
21 Q What exactly do you consider harassment?
22 A Well, threatening to take the boys away from
23 me, and the one time when he had called and he had said
24 about coming to take the boys for a visit, and I said, you
25 know, no, not until the custody is settled. He had told
11
~
~
1 mo -- ho oaid that he was going to get them anyhow.
2 Tho thing was he wouldn't come over when I
3 had told him he was welcome to come over, you know, because
4 I was there. But then when he said about coming over Sunday
5 tor his things, he said he didn't care if I was there. So
6 it didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. It seemed to me
7 like he was planning on just taking them.
8 Q By him saying he's going to try to get
9 custody of the boys, you feel that you are in fear of
10 serious bodily injury by that?
11 A Well, I'm afraid of the serious bodily injury
12 because he grabbed a hold of me. That's something I do not
13 put up with.
14 Q Are you aware that the temporary order allows
15 Mr. Warrick to call the marital residence?
16 A Yes.
17 Q You are aware of that?
18 A Urn-hum.
19 Q And you are aware that he is allowed to enter
20 the marital residence too?
21 A Yes.
22 Q And you realize that you don't have primary
23 physical custody of the children?

bragged to anybody that you kept sex from Mr. Warrick?
A No.
Q Okay.
A No.
Q And were you ever upset when Mr. Warrick did
not make sexual advances to you at a time you thought he
should?
A No. The only thing that I expected out of
him was when I was upset and I knew our marriage was
breaking up because we weren't getting along the only thing
that upset me was I was crying, you know, in the bathroom or
in the living room and he wouldn't come and talk to me, you
know, or hold me or anything like that.

1 happened on the evening -- or I guees it was the early
2 morning of February 18?
3
A
On my way to work that evening, actually the
4 17th in the evening, I had stopped at the MAC machine. She
5 had told me that she had taken half of the money out of the
6 bank, $500.00. Whenever I got there, there was $1,200.00
7 taken out.
8 So I went -- I went to work and I was very
9 upset at work. I couldn't work. I was having a lot of
10 trouble. I left early at 4:00. I was going to go home
11 early and confront her about the money she had taken out.
12 Whenever I got home, she was asleep on the
13 couch. I walked in and I just kind of puttered around
14 because I didn't know what to do, and I was afraid to
15 confront her basically.
16 So I did take her wedding ring out of the
17 jewelry box that she hasn't worn she told me now since
18 November. Well, in November she threw it at me, and I had
19 given it back to her on Christmas Day. She told me that she
20 did not want it at all the whole time,
21 I did take that and I went to leave again
22 because I was afraid to confront her. Then halfway up the
23 driveway I turned around and came back. When I came in the
24 door, she was in the bathroom and she said, are you going to
25 give me my wedding ring back?
.
I,

Did you ever grab her at that time?
No, I did not.
You just allowed her to leave per her
18
17 request, is that correct?
A
Yes. She went out and started to get water
19 in the pot for making coffee, and I walked out and said, why
20 don't you give me the keys so I can go out in your car and
21 see if the money is out there. She said it is not out
22
there. I did pat her on the front hip pocket. And at that
23 point she threw the coffee pot into the sink, ran into the
24 bedroom, called 911. She yelled, help me, and she hung the
25 phone back up.

1 Q You did not hang the phone up then?
2 A No, I did not. They called back right away,
3 and she got on the phone and then she said to them that I
4 was grabbing her. I got on the other line, and we both
5 basically gave them directions to the house. And I told
6 them, you know, I wanted them to come out also.
7 Then after we got off our youngest son came
8 out of the bedroom. I picked him up and I carried him back
9 to the bedroom and put him back in bed and told him to go
10 back to sleep. Then I went out to the end of the driveway.
11 As I was walking out to the end of the
12 driveway, I heard the house door open and I seen her running
13 out to her car and she ran back in then. I thought maybe
14 she was going to follow me out but she didn't, and I went
15 out and waited for the police to come.
16 Q Let me interrupt you one second. When the
17 police called back, were you on the phone with them as well
18 as Ms. Warrick?
19 A Yes.
20 Q So you were both talking to them on the phone
21 at that point?
22 A Yes.
23 Q And you both -- did you both assist in giving
24 them directions and so forth?
25 A Yes. When the police came, they talked to me
17
~
".....
1 for a little bit out at the end of the driveway and said
2 they were going to go back and talk to her. They said that
3 I could walk back to the house. We have a very long
4 driveway.
5 I walked back, and whenever I walked in one
6 officer asked me to go back outside with him. I didn't have
7 a coat on or anything and I was about froze that early in
8 the morning so I asked the officer if I could get my coat,
9 and he said yes. So I went and got my coat, and we went
10 outside and talked while my wife was inside talking to the
11 other officer.
12 Then the first officer I was with took me
13 back inside the house, and they were telling us how they
14 couldn't make either one of us leave the house. The officer
15 outside told me that they couldn't make either one of us
16 leave the house, but it was obvious we couldn't stay there
17 together and it was just going to cause more problems.
18 And whenever we went in the house then the
19 one officer told me I was going to be issued a citation
20 because she told him that I shoved her, And I said to him,
21 I said, so it's her word against mine, or I said her word's
22 better than mine, and he said fight it then,
23 And then he said about he couldn't make
24 either one of us leave and stuff, and they went out and I
25 followed them straight out and got in my car right behind
18
~
r'
1 them and followed them the whole way to town from there.
2 Q Now, three days prior to that, did you and
3 Ms. Warrick have a fight during that time?
4 A Yes, we did.
5 Q What was the nature of that altercation?
6 A The day before was our wedding anniversary
7 and we had gone out, and I tried do everything I could __
8 THE COURT: Just tell me about the fight.
9 THE WITNESS: Well, the fight. She was upset
10 because I had heard that she was messing around and so she
11 said that -- you know, she claimed that she wasn't. That's
12 how it started. She started threatening to kill herself.
13 She said she would get in the gun cabinet. She took a key
14 and tried to open the gun cabinet, but I have the only key
15 to that which is on me at all times.
16 She tried to pick up a candle holder. She
17 was going to bust the glass in, and I blocked her from doing
18 that. And she even told me to take the gun and shoot her
19 right between the eyes with it. At that point she started
20 pounding on my chest and stuff.
21 So at that point I called my sister, and I
22 told my sister whenever I called her I said she's trying
23 to start something, she's trying to get me to hit her, she's
24 pounding on me, she's threatening to kill herself, and I was
25 just afraid -- she has controlled me through our whole
19
.-,
~
1 marriage, through our whole relationship she's controlled me
2 completely.
3 BY MS. HUGHES:
4 Q Has she in the past threatened to take
5 everything away from you, your house and your kids and the
6 money?
7 A Yes, she's done that many times. Every fight
8 we've had the whole time of our marriage the first thing she
9 always says is that she wants a divorce at the very
10 beginning of the fight.
11 Q Have you ever hit Ms. Warrick?
12 A No, I haven't,

14 A No, I haven't.

18
A
Yes.
19
Q
Could you describe what that conversation was
20 like?
21
A
Well, the first thing he said when he called
22
me was that he thought Helen was trying to start something
because she keeps pounding at him. And he said, you know,
she knows I won't do anything, but she's obviously trying to

1 through the conversation his voice was quivering.
2 I don't really remember a lot of the
3 conversation, but I know that she picked up the phone for
4 part of the conversation and was listening in, and she would
5 make snide remarks. And even when she wasn't on the phone
6 with us, when she hung up, she would keep yelling into the
7 room where he was and yelling smart remarks at him. So she
8 must have been listening.
9 Then at one point I thought he dropped the
10 phone. I mean, you've been on the phone with somebody and
11 they drop it and you hear like a thud or whatever. I heard
12 a noise, and I thought he dropped the phone. I said, Dave,
13 and I heard him say and it was obvious the phone was
14 still at his mouth. He said, would you stop hitting me, and
15 she said, well, then put the phone down.
16 Q So she did not deny hitting him?
17 A No, she did not.
18 Q Have you ever known Mr. Warrick to be
19 threatening or physically violent with Ms. Warrick?
20 A No. In fact, he's usually pretty laid back.
21 MS. HUGHES: Nothing further, Your Honor.

Q
You've already been sworn in. You have a
4 Domestic Relations conference coming up later on this month.
5 However, are there any bills of the family that have to be
6 paid before then?
7
A
Yes. There is two months behind in mortgage,
8 and they are threatening to have the inspectors come out and
9 stuff and I guess foreclose. The electric company I just
10 got a letter from them threatening to shut it off.
11 I had it put in my name because when he
12 threatened to shut it off, but what they did was carryover
13 his bills onto mine. So that's $308.00. He hasn't paid the
14 phone bill, which I had that put in my name. I haven't
15 gotten that bill yet, but, you know, we're worried that we
16 aren't going to have anyplace to go. We're barely making
17
it.
18
Q Well, with the electricity, you said your
bill is what?

A Three hundred eight.

would that have been paid?

15 Q Ms. Warrick, at the time -- well, I guess it
16 would have been February 17 or 18 -- February 17, did you
17 not withdraw $1200.00 out of the joint checking account?
18 A I withdrawed 500, and I told him about that.
19 Q You did not withdraw 1200, you just withdrew
20 500, or does your memory fail you at this point?
21 A I'm thinking. I know I drew 500 out, and I
22 might have drew maybe another hundred or two the next day,
23 but I can't recall. But like I said, when that income tax
24 come in he took it all.

A No.
THE COURT: You may step down. The record is
closed. Argument, moving party, off the record.
(Whereupon, argument was held off
the record.)
THE COURT: I am going to take it under
advisement. I will have an order down not later than
tomorrow. Before the four of you leave -- you even said
there should be visitation. Work up some temporary
arrangement before you leave as to what it will be. That
way it will be much easier between them.
If you cannot work up something, I am sure
you can, but if you cannot, walk back to my chambers and I
will do something on that. I do not want the parties to
leave without at least a temporary arrangement.
MS. HUGHES: Thank you, Your Honor.
MR. ROBINSON: Thank you, Your Honor.
