Mackenzie Standifer shares two kids with Ryan Edwards.

In paperwork obtained by a news outlet, it was said that Standifer first called police on January 31 to let them know her ex — whom she filed for divorce from last year — was coming over to find a computer cord. She explained she was contacting authorities "in case anything happened" while he was over.

Edwards also notified the police he was going to the house, resulting in him being assisted by an officer. Once at the home, Edwards was unable to find what he was looking for, so he left and said he would return another time.

Though that all went down without any issues, things allegedly took a scary turn that night, when the dad-of-three — who has suffered from addiction and has been arrested in the past — contacted her once again via text message.

Standifer was also concerned that her ex said he was coming over to "retrieve his weapons," though she claimed he doesn't have any weapons at her home.

"The only weapon in the house is her personal every day carry pistol," the legal paperwork said. "Mackenzie stated that she was going to bring the pistol with her to work just in case Ryan comes to the house."

Standifer admitted she was "scared Ryan could harm her," especially since she's accused him of domestic violence in the past.
