TURN TO RBG ON A15
Schumacher files restraining order, citing ‘threats’ By Steve Puterski
CARLSBAD — A legal battle is brewing between Councilwoman Cori Schumacher, two residents and one former resident. Schumacher filed a temporary civil harassment restraining order against Anthony “Tony” Bona, Larry Posner and Noel Breen on Sept. 10. A stay-away order was granted and a court hearing is scheduled for Oct. 15 to determine if the restraining order will be permanent. According to the request, Schumacher said

On Carl DeMaio’s radio program, Bona said he suggested Schumacher be recalled and the next day discov-

You draw your own conclusions.” Schumacher’s report states a number of “veiled threats” against her, including more recent threats by Bona “to force me to leave my home and stalking, after over a year of consistent, increasingly obsessive and distressing
activity directed at me and those who publicly associate with me.” Schumacher submitted numerous social media posts with the complaint, one showing Bona questioning whether the councilwoman lives in Carlsbad, which she does. Another post shows Schumacher revealed Bona was banned from the social media site Nextdoor for abusive behavior. Schumacher did not respond to a request for TURN TO SCHUMACHER ON A7
