Altercation inside KPBS studio leads to restraining order
An employee at KPBS, the San Diego member station for the national Public Broadcasting Service, sought a temporary restraining order against a coworker and his family members — including an appellate court judge — saying he fears for his safety after being attacked at work.
Kevin Schrader, a senior engineering manager, told a Superior Court judge in El Cajon that he was assaulted last month at the KPBS facility on the San Diego State University campus.
The request was filed against longtime KPBS studio technician Donald Benke, his adult son, Peter Benke, and his wife, Judge Patricia D. Benke, an associate justice on the 4th District Court of Appeal in San Diego.
“This person attacked me and I want to protect my family,” Schrader wrote in his request for the stay-away order, dated Sept. 11. “He is the son of a coworker who attacked me at work.”
