The woman who was the alleged target of Nowak will not be getting a restraining order.
On Wednesday, a judge denied the request by Colleen Shipman.
Nowak admits spraying her with pepper spray. But the judge said there isn't enough evidence to show Nowak will try and go after Shipman again.
Nowak was ordered to have no further contact with Shipman.
A full hearing on the restraining order request is planned for later this month.
