Hannah Freeman, a North Ridgeville public school teacher and daughter of the City’s police chief Michael Freeman, was arrested Friday, November 8th for stalking and theft, according to publicly available records.
Freeman’s arrest adds to her prior history of arrests, court cased and confrontation with law enforcement officials none of which seem to land her in any real trouble.
Angry social media users are now leading a charge to attempt to get Freeman out of the classroom as they argue her actions are in poor taste for an educator.
Sharing a photo of Hannah on X (formerly Twitter), the user Amiri King said: “This is Hannah Freeman who’s been arrested multiple times. Her last arrest was Friday for 2 felonies and she’s in the classroom TODAY! She teaches 4th grade at NORTH RIDGEVILLE CITY SCHOOLS outside of Cleveland. Why is she in the classroom today? Her father is the police chief at NORTH RIDGEVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT. The school superintendent is a friend of Hannah’s father.” the post began.
King also pointed to a prior confrontation Freeman had with law enforcement in 2022 when a noise complaint led officers to her residence and she refused to comply with their demands, insisting that she’s the daughter of the police chief and nothing would happen to her.
The case ended up in court and she was fined but Freeman evidently learned nothing from the incident.

King continued: “I’m posting a link to one of Hannah’s disorderly conduct arrests where she laughed in the faces of officers and said nothing would happen because her dad is chief. It’s a good read. She’s a real c***.”
He added: “Nobody charged with felony stalking needs to be around children.”
A former schoolmate of Freeman’s also chimed in, claiming she’s always behaved in an entitled manner due to her father.
“I went to school with Hannah Freeman. She’s always gotten away with sh*t… Her dad’s always abused his power. She’s also always been fairly mentally unstable,” the anonymous poster said.
Currently, neither Freeman nor her dad has reacted to these allegations. It’s unclear whether she’s in any serious legal jeopardy for her arrests or if she will easily skate once again. Meanwhile, Ridgeville City Schools have formally not responded to the arrest of their employee.
