Things boiled over once more on September 13, 2006.  On that day, Woody again lost his temper and attacked Bonnie.  The following text is taken from her second complaint for a domestic violence protective order: 

"I have been in this relationship for 1½ years and over the last several months have tried to work on getting out of this abusive relationship including filing restraining order before, which was denied.  This man has previously been convicted of assault on other wives.  3 weeks ago when I attempted to leave he choked me twice and ripped off my necklace and tried to remove my ring.  He comes to my work and harasses me (even today) and keeps tabs on where I am 24/7.  It has taken me 3 weeks to safely plan how & when to leave.  He uses his strength, build and Marine ways to intimidate me and my son.  He has also choked my son.  Reports currently made after for both me & son. 

"3 days ago Woody put his foot on [redacted] face while he was lying on the ground.  Woody states he was 'playing' but [redacted] was crying.  It was obvious that this was upsetting [redacted].  I spoke to Woody that this was not playing and hurt [redacted].  Woody states he is such a [illegible] baby and 'momasboy'.  Woody thinks the 'rough housing' is normal but is distressing to my son.  Concerned for child's safety.  This distress caused me to lose my position at work and had to transfer to another department.  He also threatens to kill me if I ever left him."

Following Bonnie's second petition, the court finally granted the order.  Woody was not to have any contact with Bonnie.  The order read: "No contact includes any defendant-initiated contact, direct or indirect, by means such as telephone, personal contact. Email, pager, gift-giving or telefacsimile machine."  In addition to the court order, a hearing was set for September 19, 2006.  Bonnie realized Woody was going to be angry, so rather then return home, she decided it would be safer for her and her son to check into a domestic violence shelter.
