A 4th-grade teacher named Hannah Freeman is in trouble!
Apparently, she got so hung up on her ex-boyfriend that she ended up stalking him and got herself thrown in jail. Like, talk about not being able to let go!
Hannah Freeman, 27, sobbed during an explosive courtroom exchange as she was sentenced to a week in jail for the bad break-up behavior.
Freeman was placed on administrative leave from North Ridgeville Schools district, about 25 miles west of Cleveland, last year after being charged with several felony counts including menacing by stalking, trespass, theft, identity fraud and theft of drugs.
Westlake Police Department claimed she broke into his car twice and followed him to work at least 33 times on 19 different days over the course of one month, according to WKYC.
She took a plea deal on the lesser charges and told Cuyahoga County Judge David Matia she had learned her lesson.
‘I regret the incident. I definitely acted out of emotion and I regret that decision that I made that night,’ Freeman said.
‘I will take steps that are necessary to move on from this incident and you will not see me back here again.’
But the judge was not convinced and sentenced Freeman to 18 months of probation, with the first seven days to be served at the county jail.
‘This is frankly a bizarre breakup between two professionals. The presentencing investigation does not paint a pretty picture of your behavior Ms. Freeman,’ Matia said.
‘You should have known that was over. It was my understanding that the victim had someone else in his life.’
Freeman’s attorney and the judge then got into a spat over the sentencing, with her lawyer arguing his sentence was not in the agreed upon plea deal.
‘You didn’t agree with me,’ the judge quipped.
In June, Freeman pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, obstructing official business and possessing criminal tools.
The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office said they made the agreement because Freeman had no prior criminal history and they consulted with her ex-boyfriend.
We’ve all been there, right? Breakups can be tough, but stalking is definitely taking it to a whole new level. But hey, let’s hope Hannah gets the help she needs and learns to move on from this whole mess. Remember, exes are exes for a reason!
