Questionable Judgment, II

Firelands Elementary School in Henrietta Township, Ohio, was locked down after a sasquatch was spotted running past classroom windows, WKYC-TV reported.

Superintendent Michael Von Gunten said a person in a Bigfoot costume parked in one of the district's lots, "crossed our campus and caused the district to enter into a lockdown."

Kids outside on recess were quickly moved indoors.

Bigfoot never made it inside any of the buildings; the Lorain County sheriff's office revealed the person in the costume was a parent pulling a prank.

The parent was pulled over in a traffic stop, but no charges have been filed. [WKYC, 5/3/2024]
