Father’s repeated complaints lead to arrest

Adam Sizemore’s frustration with the amount of homework assigned to his son led him to incessantly call Kramer Elementary School. Then, he also contacted local authorities repeatedly.

According to reports, Sizemore made approximately 18 calls to police dispatch in a short period, which was deemed disruptive.

Additionally, Sizemore’s calls to the school, led by Principal Jason Merz, were initially ignored.

This prompted him to escalate his complaints to law enforcement. Detective Sergeant Adam Price described the situation.

He said: “He called dispatch 18 times, which was disruptive. This is a K-5 school, so there is not an abnormal amount of homework.”

Sizemore’s behavior escalated further when he left a voicemail demanding that the police chief visit his home personally.

In recorded messages, Sizemore expressed his frustration, saying, “He can come to my f****** house. I pay for him. He can come to my house.”
