Padding his Résumé

An unnamed man and his fiancée in Jackson County, Ind., reported to police they were being harassed: someone sent them packages of dead animals, including skunks and a raccoon. Similar packages were sent showing the victim’s name as the sender, and others contained allegations that the victims were engaged in illegal sexual acts with children. At least one package contained a message: “Resign! It will not stop.” The victims also received voicemail messages threatening to kill the fiancée and her baby, and their cars were spray-painted. Investigators traced the harassment to Travis Tarrants, 40, and arrested him for felony stalking. His apparent motive: he was upset that the Springs Valley School District had hired the victim for a job that Tarrants wanted. (RC/WXIN Indianapolis) ...Yep, their hiring decision was spot on.
