Harford County Public Schools Superintendent Bob Bulson made a 911 call to New Orleans police on April 6, 2024, to report school equipment missing from his hotel room. The items reported stolen included phones, an iPad, a laptop, an Apple Watch and technology that appears consistent with employer-issued devices. Bulson claims there was a politically motivated effort to remove him from the position, particularly as his contract was up for renewal. The deputy superintendent's phone was used to call his wife and then the New Orleans Police to report the items as stolen. The inspector general's office found that Bulson had forgotten he'd put the devices in his hotel safe and they were not actually missing.
