A 20-year-old Alabama man was sentenced to three days in jail for sagging his pants in court.
According to a report on Fox 8 Alabama, Lamarcus Ramsey, of Prattville, Ala., was sentenced to three days in jail by Autauga County Circuit Judge John Bush because his jeans were sagging too low. He was in court to enter a plea on a charge of receiving stolen property.
Bush was visibly angered about the sagging pants. He told Ramsey, “You are in contempt of court because you showed your butt in court,” according to the report.
He ordered Ramsey to spend three days in the Autauga Metro jail.
