14. The facts of the most recent incident of abuse are as follows:
On or about May 11, 2001, Defendant became enraged and screamed at
Plaintiff causing her to fear for her safety; grabbed the phone from her when
she attempted to call the police and threw it to the ground causing it to
shatter, and threw a lit cigarette at Plaintiff and the children nearly hitting
the daughter with the cigarette. Defendant followed Plaintiff and the
children into the house, grabbed several 22 shells that were on the table, held
them in Plaintiffs face and threatened, "You fucking cunt, you see these,
this is what you need in your head," causing her to fear for her life.
Defendant left the residence and took the children to stay in a motel for the
night. One on occasion, Defendant threw a basketball at the minor child,
Seth, with such force that it caused a bruise on his arm.
On or about May 14, 2001, Defendant called his VA Advocate on the phone,
stated he had a loaded gun, and threatened to shoot himself. Defendant's
caseworker recommended he sign himself into the VA hospital. Defendant
has been at the hospital since May 15, 2001.
15. 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:
Since approximately 1996, on several occasions, Defendant has become
infuriated with the children, screamed at them, and grabbed them. Plaintiffs
fear for her safety and that of her children is exacerbated by the fact that
Defendant suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and the Persian Gulf
Syndrome. In fact, a counselor from the VA contacted Plaintiff regarding
Defedant's instability and recommended she seek a Protection From Abuse
Order for her protection and that of her children.
ft.'(lf~;I[_ .. _ _""~,~.

18. There is an immediate and present danger of further abuse from the Defendant.

FINAL ORDER THAT WOULD DO THE FOLLOWING:
a. Restrain Defendant from abusing, threatening, harassing, or
stalking Plaintiff and/or minor child/ren in any place where
