A father from Ohio has been arrested for continuously contacting his child’s school to express his frustration about excessive homework, reports the NY Post. Adam Sizemore, 37, is facing charges of telecommunications harassment and menacing after making multiple phone calls to the school.
During one of the calls, Sizemore allegedly threatened the principal, telling him he
“better put his big boy pants on,”
causing the school official to fear for their safety. When the school stopped answering his calls, Sizemore turned his complaints to the Oxford Police Department.
“He calls dispatch, I think it was 18 times, roughly,”
Oxford Police Detective Sgt. Adam Price told the outlet.
Sizemore can be heard on audio recordings, getting upset with dispatchers for not giving him their names. And when one of the dispatchers wouldn’t connect him directly to the police chief, Sizemore got increasingly impatient.
“He can come to my f–king house. I pay for him. He can come to my house,”
he told a dispatcher.
According to WXIX, dispatchers eventually dispatched a team of officers to talk to Sizemore. He was then taken into custody on misdemeanor charges.
