"Chief Deputy DA Wagstaffe explained that Marman has not yet been charged with any crime and that prosecutors will be reviewing the case between now and the July 18 arraignment. He said his office had asked for additional accounts of the incident from airline personnel and passengers.
Police arrested Marman on suspicion of three crimes: battery on a police officer, a felony, and resisting arrest and trespassing, both misdemeanors. He faces up to four years in state prison on the battery charge, and one year and six months, respectively, in a county jail for resisting arrest and trespassing."
Marman has since apologized and stated that if he had it to do again he would have pulled up his pants.
Let's see...sagging pants vs. losing scholarship, prison, etc. Damn straight he wants a do-over.

ReplyDeleteNice article, thanks for the information.
ReplyDeleteChad, rules of behavior are constantly changing, and democracy gives us each a say. Young Marman more simply needs to better manage his tradeoffs to get what he wants out of life.

I agree. He is very young perhaps all of his social judgments are not firmly in place yet. I hope he has advisers that can help him to continue on successfully.
Marman's first response was to defy the rules and authority, and to continue to do so once called on it. This is his true personality and character. His low IQ prevented him from seeing the consequences of his own choices.
ReplyDeletewhile sagging pants are not something that I want to see or my kids to see for that matter, I hardly think that is a reason for being deplaned.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the young has come to understand that not only is there a time and place to express your individuality.
ReplyDeleteWhats with the "low I.Q." comment? You cant discuss an issue in an adult fashion?
I just watched an ABC interview with Mr.Marman and he is a very nice young man. Not only does he not seem defiant in the least, he states that his pants were just below his waist and no lower. Until proven otherwise, I believe him. He seems honest and real.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the commenter jimi "that is hardly a reason to be deplaned"!
We may have another case of "color arousal" and subsequent overreacting.
The overreaction was his, especially if his pants were just below his waist as he says.
ReplyDeleteHe couldn't just have pulled them up those last inches to avoid all the mess?
If he refused, and he did, his defiant attitude is what got him in trouble.
"Nice young man" or not he refused a direct and reasonable request and it got him booted off the plane.
You weigh the pros and cons and if you take the cons you may well became one.
I hate sagging pants... it speaks volumes about the wearer, very little of it good.
