Two High School Students Spent 48 Hours In Jail After Violating "Saggy Pants" Rule!
Bolivar, TN (WMC) -
Two Bolivar Central High School students were jailed after wearing sagging pants in school.
"I just took it and went on. I didn't know what else to do," BCHS student Antonio Ammons said.
Ammons had to serve 48 hours behind bars in the Hardeman County Criminal Justice Complex after School Resource Officer Charles Woods charged him with indecent exposure for wearing sagging pants at the school.
Woods said in the report that the sagging happened more than once.
Ammons said he has never been in jail and was in a pod with other inmates.
"I really didn't like it," Ammons said.
Ammons showed WMC Action News 5 what his pants looked like at school. You can see part of the waistband of his underwear and his gym shorts.
Some parents and students agree something needs to be done, but said jail time is a little too much.
"I think jail time might be a little too much, but at the same time there has been a lot of sagging pants," parent Crystal Wing said.
"I don't think it's necessary to go to jail for saggy pants, but I think the school should have some kind of punishment though," senior Jordan Perry said.
But other students are angry about it.
