A Cowlitz County District Court Commissioner granted Longview Mayor Spencer Boudreau’s anti-harassment protection order against a Longview resident he accused of stalking and harassing him.
According to the order granted on Oct. 13, Stacey Green must "knowingly remain" within a distance of 1,000 feet away from Boudreau, his vehicle, workplace, his residence and the school or daycare of his children.
She is restricted from following, monitoring and surveilling, either physically or electronically, the mayor, who is running for re-election in November. This includes taking photos and videos.
Green cannot have any contact with Boudreau, 25, or his children, either directly or indirectly, the order states.
Green can, however, attend public events where Boudreau and his children are present, provided she maintains a distance of at least 50 feet and does not make direct contact with them.
Green is also prohibited from stating allegations about Boudreau that a "governmental entity has determined to be false or not supported by sufficient evidence," the order states.
During an Oct. 6 hearing, Boudreau requested Green remove a Facebook page he said she operated, called "I believe the Mayor of Longview’s ex-wife," which featured posts alleging spousal abuse against Boudreau.
Both Boudreau and his ex-wife filed protection orders against one another in late January, making allegations of spousal and child abuse against each other. The allegations did not produce any criminal charges, and the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office says the investigation into the alleged crimes has ended.
The page "I believe the Mayor of Longview’s ex-wife" has since undergone changes. The link now takes users to a page called "Longview Resistance." This page now includes videos of Longview City Councilmember Kalei LaFave's recent altercations with Longview "No Kings" rally protesters.
Boudreau described several alleged stalking and harassing incidents by Green in his petition. He said Green called him a rapist, wife beater, child beater, and a piece of s--t in front of multiple people on July 29, while his kids and other people were waving signs for a political event.
Green said during the Oct. 6 hearing that she believed the order was a "political weapon to silence me and prevent me from exercising my constitutional right to free speech as a resident of Longview,” but added that she lives just outside city limits and cannot vote in council elections.
