Simi Valley Police Department – Incident Press Release
On 9/19/19, near the end of the school day, a parent attempted to retrieve his children from Parkview Elementary School, in violation of a court order. As officers responded to the school, the father of the children, Jeffrey Bullard (34, Simi Valley), forcibly removed the children from their mother.

After a brief struggle with officers, Bullard was handcuffed and taken into custody. The children were not hurt during the incident. Officers received minor injuries during the arrest.

Violation of a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (Misdemeanor)
