Pull Your Pants Up!

On December 27, 2007, a family of six people were arrested at a mall in Wellington, according to the Palm Beach Post.
Six members of a family were arrested at The Mall at Wellington Green in an incident that began benignly enough over a pair of droopy jeans but ended like a chaotic scene out of the Cops TV show.

An estimated 20 deputies, two canine units and a police helicopter swarmed the area surrounding the mall's food court, shutting down roads, all to arrest a 52-year-old man, his 50-year-old wife and four other relatives, ages 16 to 20, Thursday evening.

The fracas began around 7 p.m. Thursday when deputies arrested Frantz Leger, the Legers' 20-year-old son. He had returned to the mall where he was banned for violating its "Rules of Common Courtesy" on or around August. The Florida State University sophomore business major was verboten for wearing his pants too low.

"I know I'm not a criminal just because my pants are too low below your expectations," Frantz Leger said from his Wiltshire Village home Saturday.

"The mall doesn't put up with that tomfoolery bullcrap," (Palm Beach County sheriff's Lt. Jay Hart said). "His pants were down below his butt. No one goes to the mall and wants to see the crack of someone's butt."

Right On!
