The good news? Philpott and Ginn won't be charged.
The bad news: Pamela Davis and Baron Davis won't be charged.
WIS-TV covered the story at 5 and at 6. Following the 6:00PM News I emailed the reporter with these corrections to her 6:15PM website posting. You can view the website posting here. You can read my statement that I gave to RCSD Tuesday night and the District's "Update" today.
Reporter Lauren Adams had asked if the three emails furnished by Richland 2 were from me. Here are the corrections I sent her.
None of those emails was from me.
I wonder if you might be open to editing your 6:15PM story.
- "The argument" did not involve "the superintendent, his wife, and three people"
- I did not "try to talk to the superintendent's wife". As provided in my statement below to RCSD, I did not know who she was. I'm a friendly guy, and I said, "Hello, I'm Gus Philpott." With only those words from me, she blew up.
-- A lot happened between her initial reaction and "that person (Gus) was escorted out and told not to return"
- There wasn't an "argument". She was yelling for people not to talk to her, and no one trying to talk to her.
- No argument escalated while I was there; I was seated three chairs away, with a security officer standing by me, and the superintendent never came over. I don't even think the supt. was in the room. The board meeting had not yet started. He must have been involved in the second incident.
--"After that, the two members of the public were asked to leave and placed on trespass notice." That would mean three people got booted. I was already gone by the time Mrs. Davis resumed shouting and told Ethan Lopez that he was "a piece of shit". (pardon my repeating the profanity that I was told she said) It was after that that the Supt. came over (I've been told) and the second man was booted.
- It was about ten minutes after I said "Hello, I'm Gus Philpott" that a security officer finally told me that the woman was Mrs. Davis.
- The statement posted by Richland 2 today is not honest.
Thanks, Lauren. This whole thing is not that complicated, except Richland Two is not telling the truth.
Later I received an text from a person in Columbia. He wrote: "If those 3 emails that the district just talked about on wis are threatening then we REALLY have a problem!! They are really trying to find straws. No smoking gun there!!"
I hope there is someone on the planet who can explain to me why Mrs. Davis wasn't put on Trespass Notice and why the Superintendent wasn't asked to leave the meeting.
