Overview
- Sandoval filed for domestic violence restraining orders on Thursday, June 25, and a judge granted temporary protection that ordered Victoria Lee Robinson and her father J. Will Robinson to vacate his rental and stay away.
- Footage that surfaced the following day appears to show Sandoval pushing Will Robinson backward into a lit backyard fire pit, and that clip has intensified public scrutiny of the June 3 confrontation.
- Will Robinson filed a counter restraining order saying he was injured in the incident and listing a ruptured disc, broken thumb and other wounds, while Sandoval submitted photos and said he sought medical evaluation after the June 3 altercation.
- The court’s temporary orders bar the Robinsons from possessing guns, ammunition or body armor while they remain in effect, but they are interim measures that do not resolve fault or criminal liability.
- Both sides will present evidence at a formal hearing on July 16, and prosecutors can still decide whether to bring criminal charges from the June 3 incident, meaning the legal status could change before the final ruling.
