Restraining Order Sought in Violent Case

What started as a threat at a children's football practice turned into an entire legal ordeal in the Washington County District Court. Mother Julie Fena asked for, and was initially denied, a restraining order against Commander Brian Mueller, who in turn asked for and was granted a restraining order against her husband.

Back in October Christopher Fena threatened to kill Mueller at their son's practice. Although some might see this as two parents getting a little hot under the collar, Fena was actually charged with felony terroristic threats against a law-enforcement official. He also violated an existing restraining order against his own wife when he spoke to her about the restraining order she planned to file against Mueller.

Fena voiced her fear that since Mueller is a police officer, he carried a gun, and is a greater risk to her and her children. The judge denied her petition but did order a hearing for November 17. Commander Mueller was awarded the restraining order as he feared Christopher Fena's known "drug use, threats, and highly erratic behavior".
