High School Students Jailed for Fashion Faux Pas
https://www.yahoo.com/parenting/high-school-students-jailed-for-fashion-faux-pas-184746404.htmlTowns across the country have been launching controversial bans on saggy pants for years, but one high school has taken the anti-sag sentiment to a new level — going so far as to jail two teens for the offense.
“I think it’s just a little harsh. They didn’t need to go to that extreme,” Cheyenne Lindsey, a student at Bolivar Central High School in Bolivar, Tenn., told CBS affiliate Cleveland 19 about her school’s decision to have four students charged with indecent exposure for wearing saggy pants. Two of the four, the station reports, had to serve jail time.
“I just took it and went on. I didn’t know what else to do,” one of the students, Antonio Ammons (photo above), said of having to serve 48 hours at the Hardeman County Criminal Justice Complex. “I really didn’t like it.”
Ammons, who lives with his great-grandmother and must now figure out how to pay more than $250 in court costs and fines, was reportedly one of four students charged with indecent exposure by school resource officer Charles Woods for wearing their pants too low and exposing their underwear.
