Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Brown finds the circuit court properly extended a protective order against the boyfriend. The girlfriend has stated that the boyfriend has a history of domestic abuse, including an arrest. She reported that he started being physically, verbally and mentally abusive to her, threatened to kill himself if she tried to leave him, and has threatened to wreck his car and kill them both. He also punched her, pulled her hair and threw shotgun shells and hit her in the face. He does not contest that there was sufficient evidence to support the extension, but there was no testimony that his son witnessed or was victim to the violence, or that he was ever in fear of harm from his father. The court’s order of protection as to the son was erroneous. Affirmed in part. Reversed and dismissed in part.
