PRATTVILLE, Ala. (AP) – Authorities in central Alabama say a man
has been given a three-day jail sentence for contempt of court for
wearing so-called saggy pants.
Twenty-year-old LaMarcus D. Ramsey was in Autauga County Circuit
Court on Tuesday to enter a plea on a charge of receiving stolen
property.
Circuit Judge John Bush told Ramsey his blue jeans were sagging
too low and gave him the three-day stint. The judge told Ramsey to
buy pants that fit or a belt when he gets out of the county jail.
The judge says he finds it disrespectful and a disruption when
people wear pants below their waistline in his chambers
Calls to Ramsey’s public defender were not immediately returned.
