A Little too Close to Home
--------- Dad calls cops on adult son over chores ----------
BEDFORD, Ohio - An Ohio father called police on his 28-year-
old son, who serves on the local school board, because the
younger man refused to clean his room, the family said.
Andrew Mizsak Sr., 63, told police who arrived at his
Bedford home Thursday he dialed 911 because his son, also
named Andrew, threw a plate of food across the room and
balled up his fist when he was told to clean his room, The
(Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported Monday. The police report
said Mizsak told officers that "Andrew is 270 pounds and he
can't fight him, that they do everything for Andrew and he
doesn't even pay rent." However, Mizsak told the officers
he did not want to press charges because he didn't want to
"ruin his political career." Calling the police did have
an affect on the younger Mizsak, who serves on the Bedford
school board and works as an independent political
consultant, the police report said. "Andrew was sent to his
room to clean it. He was crying uncontrollably and stated
he would comply," the report said. Both father and son
later said they regretted the incident. "I overreacted.
No big deal," the father said Saturday. "My dad and I
love each other very much," said the younger Mizsak, who
promised to keep his room tidy from now on. "I'm lucky to
be living in their house."
