Parent accused of causing disturbance at Franklin County elementary

A Mercersburg father is facing charges after he allegedly got into an altercation with a principal and caused a disturbance during dismissal at a Franklin County elementary school, according to Pennsylvania State Police. David Knox, 43, is charged with five misdemeanors, including three counts of disorderly conduct, in connection with the incident on Oct. 30 at Montgomery Elementary School in Montgomery Township, according to a criminal complaint. He received his charges via mailed summons, court records show. According to the complaint, Knox "engaged in a course of disorderly, confrontational and physically offensive behavior that disrupted the orderly dismissal of elementary school students and created an unnecessary disturbance in the presence of students, parents and school personnel." Knox allegedly became angry after staff requested he secure his children in his vehicle, police said. Knox called over the principal and engaged him in a "hostile and verbally abusive confrontation," in the presence of his young children, the complaint states. Knox is accused of "berating" the principal, using profane language and of making unwanted contact by grabbing the principal's left arm. He also directed "obscenities and hostile remarks" to several parents who were there to retrieve their kids, according to the complaint. Salute:
