Pikesville, Maryland: Substitute teacher Dolly Primrod is set to file lawsuit against the Baltimore school district after the injuries and embarrassment she sustained from being kicked out of a window. The 3 foot 2 inch teacher was dressed in a football costume on Halloween day last year, when senior and captain of the Pikesville Wild Hogs football team, Cody Snow booted the woman through an open window. "I thought it was a real ball", explains Snow, now a freshman at Maryland Tech. "I saw my teammate, Brent, put his finger on top of what looked like a game ball, so I dropped my notebook, and squared up for a field goal". The punting occurred in between classes, while hallway traffic was high. Ms. Primrod sustained minor injuries, but explains that the mental anguish still lingers. "I can't sleep most nights because of this, and I was forced to leave the school. I don't blame Cody. He is a terrific kid. I don't think it was his intent to hurt me." Ms. Primrod's lawsuit hopes to change the way Baltimore's public schools handle Halloween, and hopes that school officials will make bigger strides in making students aware of the holiday, and people in costumes in general. "If there had just been some streamers, or black and orange balloons or even a paper Frankenstein somewhere...then maybe Cody would have realized that there were people in costumes abound," says Primrod. No charges were filed against the student.
