Joaquin County Counsel’s Office v. Towers CA3
Roger Towers appeals from a restraining order issued against him pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 527.8, which allows an employer to obtain such an order where an employee has suffered unlawful violence or a credible threat of violence. San Joaquin County Counsel’s Office (County Counsel) sought the order after Towers appeared angry and agitated at meetings of the San Joaquin County Planning Commission and San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors, and personally blamed San Joaquin County Community Development Department employee K.S. and a consultant, A.S., for zoning restrictions preventing him from developing his land. The order prevented Towers from harassing, threatening, stalking, or contacting, K.S. and A.S. It further prevented Towers from entering the employees’ workplace, or attending planning commission or board of supervisors’ meetings without first contacting the sheriff’s department to arrange for a deputy to be present.
