| Subject: More Serf News: Man Arrested For Trying To Pick His Kids Up From School Thu Nov 21, 2013 3:25 am | |
| A Cumberland County father didn't want to wait in a long line of traffic to pick his kids up from school. That led to a series of encounters last week at South Cumberland Elementary, and now the dad's facing charges.
You can see the full video on YouTube.
A 6 News viewer pointed us to YouTube video of one of the incidents.
"I'm going to call some help down here and we're going to take you up to the jail right now. I'm not putting up with this today. You're being childish and it's uncalled for," Sheriff Deputy and School Resource Officer Avery Aytes said in the YouTube video.
The video goes on to show the dad arguing with the school security officer over state law, then the dad winds up in handcuffs.
"I'm not raising my voice, I'm not confrontational, I want my kids," Jim Howe said in the YouTube video.
The video was taken by Amanda Long Thursday afternoon as she and her fiance, Jim Howe, were trying to pick up Howe's two children from school. It shows Howe arguing with Deputy Aytes.

- Howe says, because of a new policy that started last week, the only way parents can get their children after 2 p.m. is to wait in a line of cars until everyone is released at 2:35. He says not only is this time consuming, it's illegal.
"You don't need a reason as a parent to go get your children. They are our children," Howe said. |
