In August, 2016, the plaintiff relocated to an extra bedroom and locked the door "in fear [the defendant] would come after [her]." In September, 2016, the defendant destroyed all of the plaintiff's bathroom toiletries.2 The defendant then tried to intimidate and "corner" the plaintiff, leading her to videotape him regularly. One night in January, 2017, when the defendant had been drinking heavily, the plaintiff went into another room and locked the door "because [she] was afraid," but the defendant then "bang[ed] on the door" and came into the room at 3 A.M. to get more beer. The plaintiff testified that she could not sleep that night "because [she] was too afraid that he was going to come back in."
