There were two judges...
 
Kristen Davis sought her first order of protection against him in February, but Woodford County Judge Mike Stroh denied that request. He said the matter didn't meet the legal threshold for an emergency order, which requires a judge to believe the harm or abuse is so great or imminent that such an order can be granted without allowing the other side to weigh in.
 
Stroh scheduled a hearing a few days later to see if an order of protection should be granted. Kristen Davis never appeared in court, and the case was dropped.
 
Then, in early August, she again sought an order of protection, including a six-page handwritten list of incidents she claimed happened from early 2014 until August. Judge Charles Feeney, who is also hearing the couple's divorce, denied the request, also saying the case didn't meet the cause for an emergency order. But he left open the option for her to seek a non-emergency order of protection, which she had not requested as of Tuesday.
 
Two weeks ago, Feeney denied her request for exclusive use of the marital residence at 404 Bittersweet. There's no written order in the court file, but it appears from the minutes that he found her request didn't meet the legal standard.
 
Feeney declined to comment Tuesday, citing ethical canons that bar judges from commenting on pending cases. Woodford County has a policy that one judge will handle one family's civil matters such as orders of protection and divorces. And Feeney could wind up handling the attempted murder case, because he is the county's criminal felony judge.

Rumor has it, the reason she was seeking an order of protection was he had tried to run over with a car... that sounds pretty scarey to me.
 
Though IME, orders of protection don't actual protect anyone, they just let the police know who to look for when the person ends up dead.

The driver was a Democrat or a Republican. Did he swim to safety or just stand up.

If Woodford county is so functional how come the turn over for the County Highway Engineer position is so frequent. I think they have had 4 or 5 different people come and go in the past 5 years?
