Grandma Pepper-Sprayed For Delivering Cupcakes To School
A terrified grandmother is filing charges after being pepper-sprayed and dragged from her car by a police officer for attempting to deliver cupcakes to her grandchildren in school.
Rt.com reports:
Mary Poole, 78, merely wanted to give the baked treats to her grandchildren while they were attending class at Kastner Intermediate School in Fresno, California. For several years, Poole was the legal guardian of her son’s two daughters, but a custody dispute between the girls’ parents left her unable to see the girls.
“I hadn’t seen my granddaughters for some time and I wanted to see them, and so I baked some cupcakes and bought some cookies for my granddaughters’ classroom,” Poole told reporters with a local ABC affiliate about last year’s incident.
A police officer from Clovis Unified School District approached Poole outside one of the classrooms, informing her of a restraining order that had been filed against her and she “had to leave” the school grounds.
Poole obeyed the officer and drove her car off the school campus, parking on the street in front of the school where she placed a telephone call her son to explain the situation. At this point, the officer reportedly became aggressive and eventually pepper-sprayed the 78-year-old, who is less than 5 feet tall (1.5m) and weighs about 110lbs (50kg).
“He wouldn’t listen to anything I had to say, period. Every time I tried telling him anything…I mean, I was even telling him, ‘I’m 78 years old,’ before he grabbed me. He sprayed me with mace twice,” Poole said.
Poole said she was very frightened and told the officer to call the police, to which he responded, “I am the police.”
