Dallas ISD police arrested a Seagoville High School teacher after he threatened to kill staff if he didn't get a raise.
Omar Alanis is charged with making a terroristic threat. He'd only been employed with the district since August.
Alanis went missing for almost a week when the threat came to light but finally returned and police say admitted to threatening co-workers.
Last week, extra officers were placed at Seagoville High School. Police acknowledged an incident but didn’t say much at the time.
Police documents now revealed the teacher involved is 29-year-old Omar Alanis, a world history teacher.
Police say he used his school email account to email the principal and other administrators that they should pay him and another teacher the Master Teacher Salary and backpay them from August of last year.
Alanis went on to say it should happen if they "don't want to burn alive."
Police say he also said in another email anyone who didn't comply would be "put down immediately by Dallas PD” and attached an image of officers with weapons.
Almost a week after police were notified about the emails, police say Alanis showed back up at home on Saturday, and police were able to talk to him.
According to the affidavit, Alanis agreed to be interviewed by police and admitted several times to sending the emails. He said he was standing up to the administration to bring about change with regards to pay, something he feels was necessary.
But his sister, Arlene, says he wasn't in his right mind when he sent the emails and is now seeking mental help.
"You know, there's a back story to that," she said. "As far as we're concerned, he's not mentally stable at this point. He had some sort of mental breakdown. My grandpa passed away recently, so that might have triggered that."
Arlene says her family also had no idea where he was when he disappeared for a week.
"He was very unlike himself when I saw him. I was just like that's not my brother," she said. "We're getting our brother the help he needs. He's not a terrorist. There's no need for anyone to be afraid of him."
Alanis is on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. He was released from jail after posting a $1,500 bond. His sister says he is still in the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.
Anybody check his passport?
Is he getting the raise? I only read the headlines.
I don’t think he’ll be getting a pay raise.
Omar will probably be promoted to Superintendent
Maybe he should have had a psychiatric evaluation BEFORE they hired him to be a "teacher".
That’s so common, when someone’s grampa dies they fly into a rage and threaten to burn people alive.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Omar?
Sounds like TROP strikes again.
Somebody needs a psyc eval.
How convenient, there’s a nice big prison right there in town.
There has to be more to this story.
I guessed wrong this time.
Working in a DISD high school would probably impact my sanity, as well. They should have at least offered him combat pay.
And for those who don’t know, Seagoville is best known for its federal prison.
His salary is 52K a year! http://www.dallasnews.com/news/news/2017/02/22/disd-teacher-threatened-staff-burn-aliveif-pay-raised
Due to the poor economic landscape the past few years, I haven’t had a pay bump since 2010.
Suck it up, Omar.
Omar Omar... where did I hear that name before...
Omar Shariff of course
He should be on "administrative leave" either in jail, or a rubber room.
Omar?
Maybe Amish, Mormon or Native American?
/sarcasm
Omar the Threatmaker.
The question is will he still have that smile when he’s in jail
