One parent allegedly began trash talking Isom's son, saying that their son was better than his. 

Police said that Isom became upset and marched over to his nearby pickup truck to grab his gun.

The affidavit said that he was parked near the parents, and they called local police after observing Isom placing the gun in his waistband.

When police arrived at the high school's parking lot, officers were able to find the man's car based on the description from callers and conducted a traffic stop.

During the traffic stop, Isom's wife cooperated with police, the affidavit said. She admitted to police that her husband had a gun, but it was placed back underneath the driver's seat at the time of the traffic stop, police said.

She also told officers her husband was intoxicated, which was why he was in the passenger’s seat during the stop, according to the report. The affidavit said police found two beer bottles and a bottle of whiskey in the car.

Isom allegedly threatened to kill the K-9 on the scene and also refused to follow officers' repeated orders to get on the ground. Police had to escort Isom to the ground to arrest him, the affidavit said.
