Judge Grants 5-Year Restraining Order for Fresno Attorney | Fresno News

A Fresno judge has granted a five-year restraining order against a trespasser who broke into City Attorney Andrew Janz’s home at 3:30 AM, wielding what appeared to be a knife. The man, Larry Orduna Torrez, pleaded no contest to misdemeanor trespassing — a charge Janz deemed too lenient given the threat. While no criminal protective order was initially issued, Janz secured a civil one covering himself, his wife, and their six-year-old daughter. Torrez had previously denied claims against the city and its police chief. Janz praised the judge for recognizing the personal risks public officials face and noted the city is considering reimbursing his security costs — though he wasn’t consulted on the plan. With no personal security detail in place, this order offers vital protection for a family under threat. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
