The Sheriff, having some knowledge of who the LEO was, never served it, so it had no effect on the officers firearms or his day to day work.
FTR, BG, I've seen misrepresentations nearly this bad on TPO applications. Never saw ramifications in any case - including one where the petitioner admitted, in writing, it was all a lie and retracted the TPO. (claiming the nonprofit agency she went to just invented everything and she signed it without reading it) most notably, that woman ran to the agency to C.I.A. after she stabbed her boyfriend with a steak knife - out of the blue, btw. Once she had reassurance she wouldn't be prosecuted, she dropped the TPO. No ramification. Unless someone is chomping at their Hiney, the courts and prosecutors realize that perjury = more work. Even in this case, if it didn't make the news, and it was a regular joe, if Mrs. Bonkers stopped at some point and quit wasting the system's time, they probable wouldn't have pursued it (esp if Joe didn't make a epic stink about it everywhere he went). It's not a self-cleaning system.
Not correct, the judge never signed the temporary order.

As reported by a journalist in the above link? That contradicts all sorts of other prior journalists too. Not saying it isn't correct, but can't entirely place faith in it either.
I suppose she could have filed a petition with notice....it would take some more figuring to see if that would skip a TPO hearing, but then WhyTF is the sheriff preventing service on the LEO?

That makes more sense actually. C.R.S. ?13-14.5-103 does use the language "may request..."
Still contrasts against earlier reporting of an order "being granted" and the sheriff refusing to serve "it". If the sheriff is just refusing to serve notice of the petition (without a TPO) then that is pretty outrageous on the Sheriff's part, as the issue with these is a lack of due process. If you have a frivolous complaint, but due process to hear it and shoot it down... what makes it "ok" by any measure to protected LEO from fair civil process.
My understanding is that the sheriff didn't serve the notice of the hearing.
