"As you might imagine, based upon her disruptive behavior and demeanor, Pirozzi didn’t take too kindly to that," the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post. “As a result, she threw the trespass warning out of the car window and after that little unpleasant display of anger, then preceded to call the school’s principal and threatened to 'punch and beat her butt' if she was not allowed to come on campus to pick up her child,” Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said in the post.
When Pirozzi’s realized her threat to beat up the principal was ineffective, she called 911 and said, “I need someone to meet me at the school and if someone don’t help me get my child, I will blow this b**** up,” according to the sheriff’s office. Due to Pirozzi’s threats, the school was placed on lockdown until it was determined that Pirozzi was not a threat to the staff or students.
"While I can’t be positive, I’m pretty sure that threatening to blow up the school hurts your chances of getting the 'Mother of the Year Award'!!" Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said in the same Facebook post.
Pirozzi explained that when she dropped off her daughter that morning, the SRO tapped on her window and gave her a piece of paper. She said she didn't know what it was, so she threw it out of the window. The report stated that Pirozzi said every time she encountered the SRO, "the situation is always hostile."
Pirozzi was taken into custody on a $22,500 bond and booked at the Brevard County Jail. She’s charged with falsely reporting a bomb, fleeing and eluding police, disturbing a school function, and operating a vehicle without a valid license.
As per New York Post, the 29-year-old mother was released on October 7, 2022, and is expected to appear in court on November 8.
