Brodnicki, who has a history of mental illness, has verbally threatened Gomez while on psychiatric hold.

With the restraining order in place, Brodnicki, 46, must stay at least 100 yards from Gomez until November 4.

At that time, a judge will decide whether the order will be extended for three more years.

In a sworn declaration, Gomez says she's in "extreme fear" of the suspect.
