O’Brien Denied Restraining Order

School Board president Veronica O’Brien was denied a restraining order today against fired Vashon basketball coach Floyd Irons and his friend and supporter, Demetrius Johnson.

O’Brien had alleged that the two — along with several other protestors — threatened her and her 11 year-old child at one of many recent protests at her home in the Central West End.

But Judge Michael Stelzer, son of 8th Ward Committeeman Jack Stelzer, today denied O’Brien’s petition after hearing testimony from witnesses including city police officers and even former Superintendent Creg Williams, who came back to town to testify on behalf of his friend, Irons.

Here’s a video of one of those protests:
