Two high school students in Tennessee spent 48 hours in jail because they came to school in sagging pants.

The Huffington Post reports four students at Bolivar Central High School, which is about 70 miles east of Memphis, were charged with indecent exposure in early November because they wore sagging pants. Two of the students were jailed, including Antonio Ammons.

Ammons told NBC station WMC he’d never been to jail before and was placed with other inmates. In addition to the jail time, Ammons is now facing $250 in fines and court fees, according to the Huffington Post.
