15 DECLARATION OF MARJA A. GLASSER

16 I, MARJA A. GLASSER, declare the following: I am the Petitioner in this case. I have

17 personal knowledge of the facts I state below, and if I were to be called as a witness, I could

18 competently testify about what I have written in this declaration.

19 FACTS IN SUPPORT OF REQUEST

20 James Allen Dunn (Respondent) has resided in my home for approximately 1 year 6 months. I

21 have owned the home for 23 years. For the first 6 months, he was considered my boyfriend, however,

22 after personally seeing his pertinacity for violence, his admission that he has extreme anger issues,

23 and finding he has been in State Prison for domestic violence, assault and abduction, I found myself

24 distancing from him daily.

25 Many times I've explained to James that our relationship was over and he needed to move on

1 with his life, which always resulted in an angry outburst of name-calling and damaging my home or

2 personal property in some way. With his violence towards me and my home increasing each time the

3 subject of our relationship and his moving is mentioned, I no longer address those issues for my

4 safety and the safety of others.

5 The most recent incident that causes grave concern for my safety was on the evening of July 12,

6 2021, when James was involved in the shoot-out with another man inside my home. From

7 information received from Sheriff's Detectives, Richard Lenning of Placerville was parked outside

8 my home in his vehicle and waiting on a female that went inside the home to charge her phone. When

9 she took too long to return to his car, Richard knocked on the front door, then entered my home with

10 a loaded 9mm automatic pistol and when James saw Richard enter with his gun, James grabbed his

11 45 cal automatic pistol and shot Richard, then subsequently, Richard shot James. Both sustained

12 serious injuries, with Richard being shot once in the abdomen and James in the hand and shoulder

13 (See El Dorado Superior Court Case EG2104774.)

14 The evening that this happened, I was not at home and with a friend at her house. When I

15 returned home, my neighbors told me there was a shooting incident at my home 2 nights before and

16 several Sheriff's Detectives were there investigating the matter. With minimal information about the

17 incident, I asked James what had happened and he would not discuss the matter. Although, I could

18 see his hand and shoulder were now medically wrapped. It was only after contacting the Sheriff's

19 Department, and speaking to Detectives, that I had a clear picture of what went on in my home that

20 night.

21 James being an Ex-Felon is prohibited from owning or possessing a gun or ammunition.

22 However, based on his admission to Detective Hangebrauck of the El Dorado County Sheriff's

23 Department, he owns a 45cal automatic handgun and it was the same gun used in the shooting

24 incident in my home. (See Exhibit (B) Interview of James Allen Dunn by Detective Hangebrauck

25 Page 6 of 12.)

DECLARATION OF MARJA A. GLASSER
 1 At no time during our relationship did James inform me he had a handgun. Since my discovery

2 of his possession of the gun, I do not feel safe in my own home. I have problems sleeping at night,

3 affecting my mental stability and until his arrival, always felt safe and secure in my home.

4 Another incident in September 2021, is where I found myself the subject of Jame's rage and for

5 the first time in my life, felt my life was being threatened and that James was going to shoot me.

6 While sorting clothes in my laundry room, I heard James screaming and yelling profanities directed

7 towards me. Previously that day, we had argued about the shooting incident and how it affected me. I

8 told him I would get a restraining order to protect me and my animals. This set him off and in a rage,

9 he came into the laundry room with the handgun pointed at me and stated “I'll leave when I want to,

10 just you get a restraining order bitch” and put the gun in the waistband of his pants.

11 Currently, James has 2 open felony cases in El Dorado Superior Court. In case #P20CRF0536 -

12 PC§211 ROBBERY, he snatched a cell phone out of the hands of a 60-year-old female and knocked

13 her to the ground and in case #P20CRM0986 - PC§368 ELDER ABUSE, he assaulted an elderly 65-

14 year-old man that refused to loan him money.

15 Many people have asked why I put up with this so long or why didn't I contact law enforcement

16 when I felt threatened? On the surface, I try to stay positive and think there is always good in people,

17 however, James has challenged that reasoning. Now I feel no matter how I handle his continued

18 presence and if it were not on his terms, he will return to hurt me...

19 Based on this declaration, the supporting evidence, and court documents, Petitioner request that

20 the court grant the request for a Temporary Restraining Order with Move Out Order for the safety

21 and security of herself, her home, and other individuals.

22 I further declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the

23 foregoing is true and correct.
