The parents of a Carroll County Board of Education candidate who were
granted a protective order against their son Monday had similar orders
in Baltimore County in 2006 and 2007, according to court records.
The protective order granted to Homer and Beatrice Phelps of Westminster
by a Carroll County District Court judge Monday forbids their son,
Draper S. Phelps, 28, of Baltimore, from contacting them for one year.
It does not prevent him from running for office, and he will appear on
the ballot for the Board of Education primary election Feb. 12.
According to an application filed by Homer Phelps on Dec. 31, Draper
Phelps held him down and threatened him with a knife, and punched,
shoved and threatened him and his wife last month.
Homer Phelps also wrote in the application for the protective order that
his son is mentally unstable. In his worst phases, Draper Phelps wanted
to kill his father in order to marry his mother, according to the
application.
Calls to the Phelps’ home were not immediately returned.
On court documents, a Baltimore address was listed for Draper Phelps.
But when he filed for a school board seat Dec. 3, he listed his parent’s
Westminster address.
Gail Carter, director of the Carroll County Board of Elections, said he
had come into the office several times prior to filing, asking questions
about the process.
