An elderly Eagle Point woman who is seeking a restraining order against the father of a girl killed in the 2018 Parkland, Florida, shooting massacre will have to wait another month to see how a Jackson County Circuit Court judge rules on her petition. 

Georgina Kennedy, 76, is seeking a protective order against Andrew Scot Pollack, 57, who has been accused by neighbors in his Eagle Point neighborhood of harassing them in numerous ways. After a hearing held Monday, Judge Jeremy Markiewicz extended the proceedings — to be continued at 9 a.m. Sept. 1.

Kennedy and Pollack each declined interviews Tuesday.

Kennedy’s petition against Pollack comes as he faces a three-day trial beginning Sept. 19 in connection to numerous felony charges alleging he stalked and threatened his neighbors, Meagan Mapes and Keith Mapes, in Jackson County in 2022 and 2023. 

Pollack is accused of four counts of coercion, four counts of stalking, four counts of second-degree disorderly conduct and three counts of menacing for his alleged repeated contact with the Mapes between late 2022 and early 2023.

Pollack is the father of the late Meadow Jade Pollack, who was killed during a mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Valentine’s Day in 2018. The tragedy prompted Pollack to move to Eagle Point and become a school public safety advocate, he told the Rogue Valley Times in a previous interview.

More recently, however, Pollack’s public reputation has come under fire, as his neighbors have repeatedly accused him of making threats and engaging in harassment on or near their property — which led the Jackson County district attorney to file charges.

Kennedy outlined her complaints in a 10-page petition for a restraining order to prevent abuse. She filed the petition May 2 after advice she received from local authorities.

Kennedy noted in her petition that she is over 65 years old and is utilizing the state’s Elderly Persons and Persons with Disabilities Abuse Prevention Act in filing her petition with the court.

Kennedy claims Pollack “caused (or tried to cause) me physical pain or injury (not by accident)” and “made me fear significant physical or emotional harm” by “ridicule, harassment, threats or intimidation” between 2020 and 2023, according to her petition. She also noted Pollack was in jail April 19-20 for violating a stalking order filed by Meagan Mapes — even though court records show Jackson County Circuit Court Judge Timothy Barnack ruled the Parkland father “was not in contempt” at the time, and Judge Paul Moser tossed the stalking order.

Kennedy’s May 2 petition shows the copious notes she took in documenting day-by-day allegations, which include using unrestrained animals; name-calling and threats toward her husband; and even physical pain she says she endured through Pollack’s almost constant use of a propane cannon on his property that left her “extremely shaken for days” and unable to manage her Type 1 diabetes.

Neighbors have said Pollack uses the propane cannon — a gas-powered device typically used to scare off wildlife — as an intimidation tactic. A letter sent from a neighbor to the Jackson County commissioners claims the cannon could shoot 5,000 blasts per 5-gallon tank of propane, and that one time it discharged every five seconds for more than six hours. In her petition, Kennedy wrote that in one instance, on Dec. 26, 2022, Pollack’s cannon, which was pointed through a fence at hers and the Mapes’ house, was set on “auto” and fired every 15 to 20 seconds for six hours. She called authorities, who advised her to start keeping notes on the incidents.

Pollack’s alleged actions, Kennedy wrote, forced her and her husband to temporarily move out of state Jan. 26 from the Eagle Point home they had known for 40 years.  

“Our sleep was disrupted, we were worried about the sustained and extreme explosions damaging our hearing, and our nervous systems were in very poor shape after exposure to such sustained and intense explosions, such that it took weeks to recover,” Kennedy wrote.

But Kennedy also cited a need to return to Jackson County for a “variety of reasons” — and she is “extremely fearful” Pollack will continue to “harass, threaten and intimidate me,” she wrote in her petition. 

Kennedy’s Medford-based attorney, Zachary Newman, did not immediately respond to request for comment.
