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 Today and 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.
Dad was arrested here's what 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."
The 5 Closest Theme Parks To Charlotte North Carolina For The Best Spring Break
Spring Break is just around the corner and you may be looking for something to do to keep the kids occupied. And what kid (and adult) doesn't love a good theme park outing? And despite what you may think you don't have to go all the way to Florida to have experience the fun. Instead, you should check out one of the 5 closest theme parks to Charlotte, North Carolina.
The 5 Closest Theme Parks To Charlotte North Carolina
Listen if you have the time and money I will not talk you out of visiting the Florida parks. I spent New Year's visiting several of the major ones and had a blast. But they are expensive and crowded, especially during times when kids are out of school. So instead, why not plan a visit that's a little closer and perhaps not wall-to-wall crowded?
The 5 closest theme parks to Charlotte of course include one that's local. But also theme parks in the neighboring states of Tennessee, Virginia, and Georgia. Some even have on-site hotels and all are in places that offer more fun than just the theme parks so they will make great destinations to spend a weekend or even the entirety of spring break.
Theme parks also have so much more to offer than just rides. Of course, there are always the roller coasters (and each of these parks has some world-renowned coasters) and kid's rides. Many have waterparks as well. But the 5 closest theme parks to Charlotte also offer a wide array of entertainment, food, and even shopping.
Each of these comes personally recommended by myself (2 of 5) or a trusted friend (2 of 5). All are within a 5.5-hour drive from the city center of Charlotte North Carolina. So give this list a look and have a spring break all your kid's friends will be jealous of!
