South Pittsburg City Commissioner Jimmy Wigfall
Jane DawkinsSOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn. – The South Pittsburg City Commission will study ordinances passed by other municipalities in an effort to rid the city of sagging pants.
City Commissioner Jimmy Wigfall said South Pittsburg needs to pass a law against wearing pants unusually low, but he is not sure exactly how the board should address the issue.
“It’s just something for us to think about,” he said. “If we need to, maybe we pass some type of ordinance where you can only sag just so low or something.”
City Attorney Billy Gouger said he will look into ordinances approved in other towns and report his findings at the board’s next regular meeting.
“I know there have been some other jurisdictions that have tried to address that,” he said. “I’ll be glad to look into that, but I haven’t had a lot of work on that. It’s the first time I’ve had anybody introduce that.”
