The Plaintiff and the Defendant been involved in the following court actions: a. Divorce 10. Other details of the court action are: Findley v. Findley Divorce April 6, 2000 Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas II. The defendant has not been involved in a criminal court action. 12. There is an existing court order regarding the custody ofthe Plaintiff's and Defendant's minor children. 13. The facts of the most recent incident of abuse are as follows: On or about August 21, 2000, Defendant called his daughter, Stephanie, and threatened that she better come with him or he was coming to "get" her mother. 14. Prior incidents of abuse that the Defendant has committed against Plaintiff or the minor child/ren, (including any threats, injuries, or incidents of stalking) are as follows: On or about August 20, 2000, Defendant arrived at the camp ground where his daughter, Jennifer, was camping with friends and demanded that she return home with him. When the daughter refused, Defendant became angry, approached her, and poked her repeatedly with his fmgers in her chest as he screamed names and threats at her. Defendant grabbed her arm with and made a fist with his other hand and held it to her face in a threating manner. Defendant threatened the daughter, " When they fmd your mother dead, it will be all your fault. " Frightened, the daughter told the defendant she would go with him, and Defendant stated at that point he did not want her to go with him and he left. In or about June 2000, when Defendant arrived at the hospital after Plaintiff called to tell him their daughter, Stephanie, was in a car accident, he became belligerent and loud towards Plaintiff to the point the security guard had to tell him to stop. The security guard called the Carlisle Poke to the hospital to control Defendant. After the police released Defendant, he verbally attacked Plaintiff threatening, "One of these days, I'll get you for this. Just wait!". In or about March 2000, Defendant called Plaintiff at work and told her, "I'm taking myself out, but I'm taking you first," causing her to fear for her safety. Defendant told Plaintiff that he dreams and fantasizes about killing her and how he is going to do it. In or about May 1999, Defendant followed Plaintiff, their daughter Stephanie, and Plaintiff's friend to the car after Stephanie's softball game. Defendant shoved Plaintiff's friend in the chest, grabbed the skin on his neck, raised a fist to his face and yelled at him. When Plainiff approached Defendant, he grabbed her by her arm and spun her around to face him. When Defendant released Plaintiff, she and her friend got into the car to leave. Defendant and his daughter got into Defendant's car, followed Plaintiff and her friend down the road, swerved in front of them, cut them off, slammed on his brakes, and attempted to force them off the road. " '_"n - ,J.,W~ During the incident the minor child in the car with Defendant cried and pleaded with Defendant to stop. Defendant pushed the minor child away causing her to hit the door. In or about August 1998, Defendant grabbed Plaintiff by the hair and attempted to force her into the vehicle. Defendant threatened Plaintiff that she could not have the vehicle unless she broke up with her boyfriend. When Plaintiff started to walk away, Defendant followed her and ordered her back to the house. Plaintiff returned to the house because she feared for the children. When they arrived back in the house, Defendant demanded that their oldest daughter call Plaintiff's boyfriend to come and get Plaintiff. Defendant threatened that when Plaintiff's boyfriend arrived, he was going to kill him and the daughter refused to call. When Defendant realized the child called the police instead, Defendant threatened that the police were not coming into his house; that he was going to kill himself and that he wasn't going alone causing Plaintiff to fear for herself and their daughters. Defendant locked himself in his bedroom where he thought his guns were, and when he realized his guns were not there, he stormed from the room, tore the door from the hinges, grabbed Plaintiff by both her arms, picked her up off of the ground, and slammed her into the wall as he screamed at her. Defendant went to the basement where he kept a 22 magnum, and Plaintiff and her older daughter followed him; the daughter grabbed the gun as Denfendant held it and begged him not to kill himself or harm anyone. Defendant lifted her off of the ground as she held onto the gun, shook her off of the gun, and dropped the gun causing the butt to break. Defendant grabbed the gun and went upstairs to get the bullets. When Defendant got upstairs, the police arrived, confiscated Defendant's weapons, and turned them over to his parents. Defendant retrieved his guns from his parents a few days later. Since approximately 1997, Defendant has abused Plaintiff in ways including the following: grabbed her by the arms and hair, and raised his fist to her in a threatening manner causing her to fear for her safety. Defendant has threatened to kill Plaintiff several times, and on one occasion in 1998, Defendant went to her job and threatened to harm her employer and co- workers. 15. The Defendant has used, or threatened to use, the following weapon(s) against the Plaintiff or the minor child/ren: a. 410/22 b. 22 magnum c. 30 aut 6 d. 12 gauge shotgun e. 16 gauge shotgun f. 10 gauge shotgun 16. The police department(s) or law enforcement agencies that should be provided with a copy of the protection order are: North Middleton Police West Shore Regional Police Middlesex Police 17. There is an immediate and present danger of further abuse from the Defendant. 18.

Findley Divorce April 6, 2000 Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas II. The defendant has not been involved in a criminal court action. 12. There is an existing court order regarding the custody of the Plaintiff's and Defendant's minor children. 13. The facts of the most recent incident of abuse are as follows: On or about August 21, 2000, Defendant called his daughter, Stephanie, and threatened that she better come with him or he was coming to "get" her mother. 14. Prior incidents of abuse that the Defendant has committed against Plaintiff or the minor child/ren, (including any threats, injuries, or incidents of stalking) are as follows: On or about August 20, 2000, Defendant arrived at the camp ground where his daughter, Jennifer, was camping with friends and demanded that she return home with him. When the daughter refused, Defendant became angry, approached her, and poked her repeatedly with his fingers in her chest as he screamed names and threats at her. Defendant grabbed her arm with and made a fist with his other hand and held it to her face in a threating manner. Defendant threatened the daughter, " When they fmd your mother dead, it will be all your fault." Frightened, the daughter told the defendant she would go with him, and Defendant stated at that point he did not want her to go with him and he left. In or about June 2000, when Defendant arrived at the hospital after Plaintiff called to tell him their daughter, Stephanie, was in a car accident, he became belligerent and lond towards Plaintiff to the point the security guard had to tell him to stop. The security guard called the Carlisle Poke to the hospital to control Defendant. After the police released Defendant, he verbally attacked Plaintiff threatening, "One of these days, I'll get you for this. Just wait!" . In or about March 2000, Defendant called Plaintiff at work and told her, "I'm taking myself out, but I'm taking you fIrst," causing her to fear for her safety. Defendant told Plaintiffthat he dreams and fantasizes about killing her and how he is going to do it. In or about May 1999, Defendant followed Plaintiff, their daughter Stephanie, and Plaintiff's friend to the car after Stephanie's softball game. Defendant shoved Plaintiff's friend in the chest, grabbed the skin on his neck, raised a fist to his face and yelled at him. When Plainiff approached Defendant, he grabbed her by her arm and spun her around to face him. Wh~n Defendant released Plaintiff, she and her friend got into the car to leave. Defendant and hiS daughter got into Defendant's car, followed Plaintiff and her friend down the road, swerved in front ofthem, cut them off, slammed on his brakes, and attempted to force them offthe road. 'Ii '~=~, ^' ,j o~' ~ ,,~-,--,; -, "';j . During the incident the minor child in the car with Defendant cried and pleaded with Defendant to stop. Defendant pushed the minor child away causing her to hit the door. In or about August 1998, Defendant grabbed Plaintiff by the hair and attempted to force her into the vehicle. Defendant threatened Plaintiff that she could not have the vehicle unless she broke up with her boyfriend. When Plaintiff started to walk away, Defendant followed her and ordered her back to the house. Plaintiff returned to the house because she feared for the children. When they arrived back in the house, Defendant demanded that their oldest daughter call Plaintiff's boyfriend to come and get Plaintiff. Defendant threatened that when Plaintiff's boyfriend arrived, he was going to kill him and the daughter refused to call. When Defendant realized the child called the police instead, Defendant threatened that the police were not coming into his house; that he was going to kill himself and that he wasn't going alone causing Plaintiff to fear for herself and their daughters. Defendant locked himself in his bedroom where he thought his guns were, and when he realized his guns were not there, he stormed from the room, tore the door from the hinges, grabbed Plaintiff by both her arms, picked her up off of the ground, and slammed her into the wall as he screamed at her. Defendant went to the basement where he kept a 22 magnum, and Plaintiff and her older daughter followed him; the daughter grabbed the gun as Denfendant held it and begged him not to kill himself or harm anyone. Defendant lifted her off of the ground as she held onto the gun, shook her off of the gun, and dropped the gun causing the butt to break. Defendant grabbed the gun and went upstairs to get the bullets. When Defendant got upstairs, the police arrived, confiscated Defendant's weapons, and turned them over to his parents. Defendant retrieved his guns from his parents a few days later. Since approximately 1997, Defendant has abused Plaintiff in ways including the following: grabbed her by the arms and hair, and raised his fist to her in a threatening manner causing her to fear for her safety. Defendant has threatened to kill Plaintiff several times, and on one occasion in 1998, Defendant went to her job and threatened to harm her employer and co- workers. 15.
