Oxford Village Police received a call Oct. 9 from Daniel Axford Elementary (DA) school officials reporting that a DJ, who was hired to work the Fund Run, allegedly exposed himself to a student during the event, which was held at Oxford Elementary School (OES).
‘There was no immediate danger to the children and no further inappropriate behavior was reported,? stated Chief Mike Neymanowski in a press release. ‘The Oxford Police Department is fully investigating this incident. Arrest charges are pending at this time.?
Parents of DA and OES students were notified through a letter put out by Oxford Schools on Oct. 14, letting them know Oxford administration had been made aware of the incident.
‘Please know that Oxford Community Schools places an exceedingly high standard on the safety and well-being of our students,? Oxford Schools? wrote Superintendent Tim Throne. Therefore, we felt it was important to inform parents of an alleged incident at last Friday’s Fund Run, just in case any of you are contacted about the investigation.?
Throne noted the alleged incident was isolated and allegedly involved a non-staff member.
‘We were not given permission to release any information regarding the allegation until today,? he said. ‘In addition, due to the ongoing investigation of the alleged incident last Friday, the district is limited in what information can be released at this time.?
Neymanowski reiterated his department is conducting a full investigation into the matter, which will include interviewing the suspect and bringing in professionals to interview the student.
Police are hoping to have the case wrapped up as soon as possible.
