CBSN
The Santa Clara County Superior Court has issued a restraining order against a woman who has allegedly been stalking Apple CEO Tim Cook for more than a year. The woman, who claims he is the father of her children, is accused of emailing Cook photos of a loaded pistol and trespassing at his home in Palo Alto.
In its request for a restraining order, Apple said it believes the 45-year-old Virginia woman "may be armed" and "intends to return to (Cook's) residence or locate him otherwise in the near future." A judge granted the restraining order on Friday.
The restraining order bars the woman from possessing firearms, approaching Cook in person, or contacting him through email and social media. The San Jose Mercury first reported the development.
