Shirtless Man Ordered To Pay A $25 Fine

[Tuberavens]

(AP) An man who was cited in June for not wearing a shirt has been ordered to pay a $25 fine and court fees. A related charge of failing to obey a lawful order has been dropped.

Sean Cephus, 18, was arrested June 4 when an officer spotted him going **** on South Street. A 1974 ordinance requires both women and men to wear a top while on public property. The arrest drew the attention of a San Diego-based national campaign called GoTopless.org. Member Nadine Gary called the Easton law "backwards."

Police acknowledge the ordinance is very rarely enforced but say it is sometimes used as a means of stopping repeat offenders.

Cephus pleaded guilty to an unrelated assault charge last month and is serving an 18-month sentence.

Some of the laws are stupid as hell. I don`t really want to see **** men, but to arrest them is really over the top, IMO.

Oh. Would you have served him if you would have waited on him? Curious minds need to know.

That`s the managers job. Regular workers would probably catch hell for doing that.
