On June 9, 2006, Bonnie finally grew tired of Woody's abuse and filed a complaint for a domestic violence protective order. Within the complaint Bonnie wrote:
"From the beginning our relationship has been rocky, riddled with jealous rages, intimidation, pushing me down, threatening to kill me if I ever left him anytime we fought over the last year. Degrades and cusses at me and my child. Last July (05) assaulted my daughter and her boyfriend visiting from Texas. I am very afraid for myself and my child. He (Woody) is an ex-marine and very strong. Yesterday he was screaming and cussing at children and cussed at me. Children were crying and scared. Approx 2 wks ago purposely bruised son's arm "play fighting".

Judge Danny Davis |
Jackson County District Court Judge Danny Davis ruled Bonnie "failed to prove grounds of ex parte relief" and her petition was denied. Bonnie's attempt at getting a restraining order forced Woody to temporarily change his tactics. Rather then belittle Bonnie, he temporarily took some of the blame upon himself and said he was "no good" for her and that maybe he should "kill himself" or crash his Corvette. He even suggested he might take his boat out, overdose on pills and then sink it. Woody, of course, had no intention of harming himself and had only concocted the stories for his own benefit. It was his hope that Bonnie would feel sorry for him and forgive him once again. In the end Bonnie stayed out of fear, not pity.
