BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A Superior Court judge on Wednesday denied a defense motion seeking to modify a protective order brought against a woman accused of using a stun gun on her autistic adult son.
Judge David Wolf denied the motion without prejudice and said a new motion could be filed on behalf of Tisa Armijo regarding visits with her minor son — who is also autistic.

The protective order only lists the adult son, who has the mindset of a 2-year-old, according to court filings.
The motion, filed by defense attorney Mark Anthony Raimondo, sought supervised visits for Armijo and the adult son, who’s currently housed in a locked facility at Kern Medical.
According to the motion, the son “often cannot control his frequently violent and aggressive behavior” — and the allegations against Armijo resulted from a violent outburst on his part.
The motion also asked a no contact order be lifted regarding Armijo’s minor son, stating there were “no allegations of aberrant conduct or violent conduct with respect to him.”
