Garcetti Family Gets Stay-Away Order for Intruder

An Los Angeles superior court judge told 38-year-old James Pagano on Friday that he must not to come within 100 yards of L.A. City Council president Eric Garcetti, his wife, Amy Wakeland, and other members of their household.

According to the Los Angeles Times, prosecutors in the city attorney's office have filed two counts of trespassing against Pagano.

They said Pagano illegally entered the Garcetti's Silver Lake home twice over the past year--once in March and again last week.

Garcetti’s wife, Amy Wakeland, was home both times and requested the order.

Pagano also tried to enter a third time, but was unsuccesful.

Wakeland says she is afraid for her safety because Pagano appears "unstable."

A hearing on extending the order is scheduled for March 8.
