The Court just silenced the ‘DL Whisperer’ — online and off (Exclusive)

 

Naquan Palmer, also known as the ‘DL Whisperer,’ appeared in court on Tuesday.

Palmer appeared virtually alongside Ts Madison and Dominique Morgan, who were granted protective orders against him.

“In addition to that, we take the act to appear at their home, drive around their neighborhood, and things like that,” Judge Keith Galligan said, in a video obtained by POLISH. “I think that’s...that’s definitely over the line. And that’s the reason this court is issuing a protective order.”

Palmer gestured and appeared to shrug during the judge’s statements.

A 12-month protective order was granted to Madison and Morgan against Palmer, requiring the accused not make contact with either party. This order covers any references to online as well, including words, videos, or images. The judge also indicated that they can extend the protection order for up to three years within the next few months.

A court denied a reverse temporary protective order issued by the DL Whisperer against Madison the day prior. Following Morgan’s question about the conditions of the protective order, the judge asked whether the content creator had any questions.

“They can talk about me, and they can do anything to me,” Palmer said while in chains. “But I just have to not do anything to them...I just want to make sure we’re clear...”

“The only thing I can answer, the only way I can answer that, is that right now there are two protective orders against you...I can’t speak for what’s going to happen on your criminal case,” Judge Galligan responded. “But at some point, you will have a bond, and you will probably have bond conditions as well, and they will probably be very similar to these protective orders.”

“So what I can tell you right now is you are not to have any contact with Ms. Morgan or Ms. Hinton, and not to refer to them on social media,” he concluded. “And they will serve these [protective orders] on you sometime today or tomorrow.”

As of this writing, Naquan remains behind bars at the Gilmer County Jail. His next bail hearing is on March 10th.

Gilmer County Sheriff’s Office arrested Naquan Palmer on February 21st on aggravated stalking charges. The arrest came on the heels of Ts Madison and Dominique Morgan receiving temporary protective orders against Palmer. On January 23rd, Naquan reportedly drove to Madison’s house following months of alleged threats and harassment online.
