Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) was granted a restraining order on Monday against an 18-year old Pennsylvania man she alleged has stalked and threatened her.

Palin filed and was granted the request in Anchorage District Court against Shawn R. Christy, whom she said had sent her receipts from a gun purchase and a letter that he had "evil and wickedness" in him.

The 20-day restraining order prevents him from contacting, following, approaching, watching or otherwise stalking Palin and her extended family and says he must stay a mile away from her home.

A hearing for a long-term order is scheduled for Oct. 13.
