An Ohio dad is showing exactly what not to do when you’re frustrated about something related to your kid’s school after he got arrested for making many phone calls to the school and then to the cops to complain about his son’s homework. According to Detective Sergeant Adam Price with the Oxford Police Department, Adam Sizemore called them around “18 or 19 times” about the homework. Even worse? Those calls were all made in less than an hour.
The police report states:
- Sizemore “repeatedly” called Kramer Elementary School in Oxford “because his son gets homework which takes away from the time he has with him after school.”
- The dad tried to reach the principal, but after he got his voicemail, he kept calling back.
- "During these conversations, Sizemore cursed at the secretaries while making demands of them," the police report states.
- A school resource officer talked to him “several times” on the phone, telling him to stop calling.
- The officer notes that Sizemore’s speech was slurred and when asked if he was intoxicated, he said he was “high.”
- The dad kept calling, threatening to make sure the school resource officer loses his job. He was told that if he called again, the officer would file a Telecommunication Harassment charge. Sizemore called right back, doing the same thing he was warned about.
- He finally talked to the principal, cursed at him and the principal hung up.
- The next day, the calls started up again, before Sizemore called the Oxford Police 18 or 19 times, trying to reach the chief.
- The dad was then arrested and charged with two counts of telecommunications harassment (a first-degree misdemeanor) and one count of menacing (a fourth-degree misdemeanor).
- He heads to court March 28th.
As for his side of things, Sizemore tells the “Today” show that “most” of the accusations aren’t true. "I'm a single dad of a boy and a girl and I'm just trying to do the best I can and that's all I can do," he says. "People make mistakes."
