SAPOA President Calls Police on Salisbury Councilman

As reported in this morning’s Daily Times, Salisbury Area Property Owners’ Association (SAPOA) President Kris Adams filed a police report alleging that Salisbury city councilman Tim Spies "… insulted her and she perceived a threat". This incident occurred Monday evening in the council chambers after the swearing in of new council members.

No charges were filed. Spies was not even aware that the Salisbury Police had been called until Tuesday during the city council’s work session.

A few minutes after the incident, Spies spoke about it. According to Spies, Adams and her daughter Alex (a student at Salisbury University and the purported publisher of The Other Salisbury News blog) were sitting in the council chambers and Alex Adams began making faces at Spies while he was delivering his comments after being sworn in. This is confirmed by Mayor Jim Ireton. In a statement to the Daily Times, Ireton said:

"The Adams' family has a history of aggressive behavior with elected officials," he said in a written statement. "I watched the family heckle and make faces at Councilman Spies. This behavior is par for the course."

Similar behavior from Miss Adams was also witnessed during the Camden Neighborhood Association’s candidate forum prior to the recent council elections.

After the meeting, Kris Adams approached Spies. Spies stated that he asked Adams if her daughter “had a touch of Tourette’s”. Adams suggested that Spies ask her. She then brought her daughter up to Spies. When Spies asked her about making faces while he was speaking, she mumbled, “Oh, I didn’t think you saw that.”. A few moments later, Adams came up to Spies and accused him of “intimidating her family”.

At the time this story was relayed, it was considered a mildly humorous anecdote and not thought to be newsworthy. It wasn’t until Adams filed a police report that she made it so.

Classic SAPOA nonsense. If I were a landlord in Sby, I would not want these people representing me.

Why does everyone want to copy you and your blog?

I took a peek at it and as usual, it's crap.

Gull this and gull that. Must be a college puke trying to make a name for him/her self.

Looks like they figure if they do the opposite of what you do it will get them some points.

I especially liked the brown nosing part directed at sherrif mike.

Oh well, I only wasted 30 seconds or so of my life looking it over.

"After the meeting, Kris Adams approached Spies."
That's as far as I need to read. It's obvious this woman was out to start trouble.
And a bit of advice to the daughter-You are not cute, you are not being clever. If you ever intend to be taken seriously start acting like you have a brain instead of like a simpleton!
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree with the daughter though as Mayor Ireton states this type of behaviour is "par for course" for this family. It could be a genetic thing-you know a deficency in intelligence, good judgement and common sense.

Perhaps young Alex is mimicing Mayor Ireton's infantile behavior. Oops-guess not infantile. Infants don't get drumk and stagger all over DT Salisbury on 3rd Friday. (no, I am not a family member or friend of the Adams')

11:59 I've looked in on that blog also. I find it so amusing that some are so very very obsessed with Joe Albero/Salisbury News. It's like it's becoming a new mental disorder. Some of these people literally devote their entire days to writing about Sby News and Joe. It is so funny.

Oh and Joe's picked up some new cult members. I was talking with someone who works with children with learning disabilities mostly brought on by Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. They found out about Sby News after hearing Roberta's Ramblings. You are their hero, Joe. They said they wish they had a "Joe Albero" in their neck of the woods because in their opinion these parents need a dose of public humiliation.

Why would Alex mimic anyone, 12:25? That's infantile. Oops infants don't mimick. Must be the genetic predisposition to not having a functioning brain!

It is time for Kris Adams to step down from sapoa! As a landlord in the group she is not representing us in a favorable light. Her cheap parlor tricks do not impress me and are bringing unwanted attention to the group. I am ashamed she is president of our organization. I know with this recent outburst sapoa will feel the heat from her actions. Kris you need to stop running your mouth and keep a leash on your daughter. All this is doing is getting the Mayor and entire council to put a spotlight on our organization.

I never looked at that blog before, but eeeeeeeeewwwwwww! And your mother kisses you with this mouth?
And what has Adams' daughter got against Spies, anyway? Did you ever meet him and talk with him before this?
I think it's just what it seems to be -- an attempt to quietly and humorously let Kris Adams' daughter slide out of her repeatedly dumb public behavior with some dignity. Too bad she and her mom were too dumb to see it.

From what I hear, Kris tried pretty hard to keep a leash on her daughter. But the kid is twenty-two, there's only so much leashing a parent can do at that age.

Question G.A.,

If Spies didn't know about it until tuesday, then why did he speak about it "A few minutes after the incident..." ? Seems like a contradiction to me....

anonymous 12:37, it's interesting you say that. I pretty much had the same conversation with Kris several weeks ago when I asked her why her Daughter started up a Blog named after mine. She assured me that there would be NO personal attacks, yet that too was a complete lie. It clearly shows she has no control over her Daughters behavior, not that she should, she's an adult. However, my child would never go on the attack like her Daughter is and in my opinion the Daughter has a lot of screws loose in her head.

I too cannot understand why most, (if not all) of these anti Albero people can't just try to do some good for their community instead of living every single breath of their being obsessing over Joe Albero.

Then again, every time they mention me our hits go up, we get new and devoted readers who are educated enough to look at people like Granny and realize she too has pretty much every screw loose in her head.

Let them obsess. Let Kris continue ranting like a sore loser. Let her use her Daughter as the middle person. Don't you think for a second that the old Tilghman administration isn't behind their entire being. They are ALL sore losers who pat suckers on the back while the say raunchy things about me, my Wife and Grandson.

Patterson, be very scared. Your day is coming very soon and your employer will be overwhelmed too.

I too believe Kris will step down from SAPOA very soon.

12:37. Adams should step down or be forced to resign if that's possible.
She is a liability to the SAPOA. She is lacking in diplomacy, grace and charm. All sucessful business woman know these 3 qualities are paramount to sucess.
Adams antics which include heckling and face making is the behavior exhibited by clowns in the side show at the circus. Such behavior at a city council meeting or at a candidates forum is unprofessional and uncalled for.

wow so Kris Adams is a moron huh? i have heard the name a few times and it is never associated with anything good. maybe someone should tell her that if she has any "real" issues or concerns, no one will ever take her seriously as long as she continues to act like an ass in public. im really tired of all the bs that goes on in the salisbury govnt. is there anyone out there that actually cares about getting anything done or do they just use each and every council meeting to air their personal beefs with anyone and everyone in town. and i dont care if the mayor drinks on the weekends as long as he's not signing any new laws or making the budget at the bar. get a life people. this town just sucks. period

If she can not keep a leash on her daughter what in the world is her daughter doing at that meeting anyway. I fell she uses the cover of her daughter to promote her own personal agenda. There was no value in her daughter even being at that meeting. Time for Kris to step down!

Kris, if YOU want to make a comment, DO IT WITH YOUR REAL NAME and not anonymously.

Better yet, use your Daughters Blog to spew your defense, anonymously. No one goes there anyway.

Geez you would think the president of the SAPOA would be setting an example and her own properties look like show places? How was she voted in by a board or by the general memembership? Either way she isn't leadership material for a property owners association if her own properties aren't in tip top shape.

She is a Joke. I rented from them years ago and in todays standard that house would have been the slum of the week. She needs to go back to teaching and stop playing office!

What I do not understand is how a powerful group like SAPOA ends up with a president like Kris Adams. Were they looking for the minority vote or applying for a federal grant and needed women in charge? I know she is just a puppet but I would expect a better leader and someone with cooth and class out of that group.

This daughter is the purported publisher of "The Other Salisbury News" blog? Might she be Black Sheba? If this is true it's disturbing. Why would a university student even concern themselves with such nonsense? She should be worried about such things as planning a community garden, or making arrangements to help a busy mother this summer or even fashion or planning with friends to rent a place at a beach so they can waitress for the summer or a vacation with friends. It's really sick what she is doing, if it's true.

Oh I understood 1:38's comment perfectly so I'll clarify it for you 3:47. The properties owned by the Adams' are horrible and most people wouldn't even let their dog live in them is what the comment means in a nutshell!

I was raised to be respectful. What a mom. She should have insisted that her daughter apologize. I don't care how old she is. Instead, she defends the indefensible. What kind of a role model is that?

Her behavior is hateful and unprofessional. Using the Gulls and tying the behavior to SU also reflects badly upon a school that is trying to be a good citizen. What a shame that she can't behave with some dignity and respect.

Hey Alex, (Kris Adams Daughter) take your BS elsewhere, along with your Mother. Your comments are not welcome here either, especialy anonymously.

I have rejected Kris and Alex's comments, probably doing them a favor from being attacked as Idiots anyway.
