Arizona father threatens to zip tie principal after son told to quarantine
An Arizona father threatened his son's elementary school principal with a citizen's arrest while wielding zip ties after he received news that his child would be required to quarantine after coming in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
Vail Unified School District officials told a local NBC News station that the man, who was not named, arrived at Mesquite Elementary School on Thursday morning along with his child and two other men to protest the quarantine policy.
The story from KVOA, the "local NBC News station" referenced in The Hill's story -
Police on-scene at Vail elementary school after group threatens to zip-tie principal over COVID-19 protocols
A conflict over the COVID-19 quarantine policy at a Vail Unified School District elementary school has been resolved shortly after protesters threatened to make a citizen's arrest on the principal Thursday morning.
According to VUSD officials, a student at Mesquite Elementary School was asked to quarantine after he reportedly was in close contact with an individual who tested positive for COVID-19.
VUSD said this decision was made per state policy, citing that when a school in Arizona experiences a positive case of COVID-19, it is required to report the case to its county health department - in Vail's case, Pima County Health Department. Then, the county decides which individuals need to quarantine in order to prevent a potential outbreak in the community.
AP picked it up, too -
1 arrest after clash over Arizona school’s COVID mandates
The father of an Arizona elementary school student was arrested after he and two other men showed up to the campus with zip ties, threatening to make a “citizen’s arrest” on the school principal over a COVID-19 quarantine, school officials said Friday.
Diane Vargo, principal of Mesquite Elementary School in Tucson, said the parent came to her office Thursday with his son in tow. The father was upset the child would have to isolate and miss a school field trip because of possible exposure to someone with COVID-19. She said two other men also “barged in.”
So far, I haven't found the arrested man's name, but I fully expect Dougie has it and will pardon the man, if it gets that far. Dougie may just make a call and have Markie force/influence the Pima County Attorney's Office to drop the case.
1. Wear a damn mask.
2. Get vaccinated.
3. Don't commit or even threaten violence.
