Overview
- Leonard filed for a restraining order on May 20 that includes handwritten allegations that his son has struggled with drug addiction for seven to eight years, experienced four overdoses, and repeatedly stole money and valuables.
- In the filing Leonard said a physical altercation at their Pacific Palisades home on May 19 ended with his son pushing him and police escorting the son off the property.
- A judge granted most of the temporary order, directing the son to stay at least 100 yards away and to move out of the home, and the judge said more facts are needed before adding Leonard’s adult daughter as a protected party.
- Los Angeles police arrested the son on May 20 for an alleged violation of the temporary order; jail records show he was held until May 22 and a June 25 hearing is set on that alleged violation.
- These claims are contained in court papers and are not convictions, and the coming hearings on June 15 and June 25 will determine whether the protections become longer term and whether any legal penalties follow.
