Trumm v. Cleaver

ZINTER, Justice.

[¶ 1.] Terri Trumm petitioned for a domestic abuse protection order against Kev-an Cleaver under SDCL chapter 25-10. Terri argued that Kevan’s conduct amounted to stalking under SDCL 22-19A-1. She also argued that, by statutory definition, stalking under SDCL 22-19A-1 constituted domestic abuse under SDCL 25-10-1(1) if the stalking involved family or household members. The circuit court agreed and granted the protection order. On appeal, Kevan argues that the circuit court misinterpreted SDCL 25-10-1(1) and abused its discretion in granting the order. We affirm.
