‘Pull ’em up or pay up’ is new law in Mansfield
August 13, 2007
MANSFIELD — “Pull ‘em up or pay up.”
ThatÂ’s Police Chief Don EnglishÂ’s interpretation of a new law that takes effect in Mansfield on Sept. 15
Anyone caught wearing sagging pants who exposes his or her underwear will be subject to a fine of up to $150 plus court costs, or face up to 15 days in jail.
Mansfield aldermen voted unanimously at todayÂ’s 4:30 p.m. meeting to enact the new law.
The law makes it illegal to found in a “state of nudity, or partial nudity, or in any indecent exposure of his or her person or undergarments, or be guilty of any indecent or lewd behavior.”
City attorney Richard Z. Johnson Jr. said he used a similar law in Delcambre as a guideline in creating MansfieldÂ’s ordinance. Several municipalities and parish governments in Louisiana have enacted similar laws in recent months.
