PETITIONER'S WITNESS LIST
COMES NOW, the Petitioner, Frederick Shaddock, and submits
this formal list of witnesses who will be called to testify at the hearing
scheduled for October 7 regarding the Stay Away Order. Each witness is expected
to provide testimony that is relevant to the disruptive and harmful behavior of
the Respondent, Oksana Shemet Shaddock, during her recent uninvited stay at the
marital residence in Fairfield, Iowa.
1. David Townsend
- Relation to the Case:
David Townsend is a 78-year-old U.S. Army veteran who served in the Vietnam
War. He is a resident at the Fairfield house and receives home care assistance
from the Petitioner.
- Expected Testimony:
David Townsend will testify that Respondent’s behavior has had a detrimental
impact on his mental and physical health. He will describe how Respondent’s
yelling and demands have worsened his PTSD and have been reminiscent of the
Drill Instructors he encountered at boot camp in the 1970s.
He will further testify that his doctor has prescribed a peaceful environment
for his recovery, which has been disrupted by the Respondent’s presence. David
Townsend’s testimony is crucial in demonstrating how the Respondent’s actions
have caused significant distress in the household.
- Method of Appearance:
Mr. Townsend can testify via Zoom or phone due to his health condition.
2. Miss A (Initials used to protect privacy)

and disabled, who resides at the Fairfield house and assists Mr. Townsend with
his medical care, including driving him to doctor appointments.
- Expected Testimony:
Miss A will testify about the disruptive and stressful environment caused by
Respondent’s recent presence at the house. She will explain that Respondent’s
harassment has prompted her to temporarily leave the home and stay with
family. Miss A has moved her most essential belongings from her room while
Respondent is in the house.
- Additional Evidence:
Miss A’s text message to the Respondent, refusing to participate in
Respondent’s scheme to fabricate further accusations against the Petitioner,
will also be presented as evidence. Miss A’s text stated, "No, I won’t make up
more crap," which underscores the false nature of Respondent’s claims.

number will be sent to Respondent's attorney, for privacy and equal access. .
Supporting Evidence:
In addition to the testimony of the witnesses listed above, Petitioner will
provide:

behavior, including her shouting "the F word" loud enough, and turning on
bright lights, to disturb Mr. Townsend while trying to rest and recover..
- Text Messages from Miss A to Respondent, indicating her
refusal to participate in false accusations.
