Cops: Teen shot because pants too saggy


MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A Memphis man angered by two teenagers who would not pull up their sagging pants shot one in the rear and faces aggravated assault charges.

Police said Kenneth E. Bonds, 45, began yelling at two youths, ages 16 and 17, about pulling up their pants. The pair and Bonds were in a heated argument when Bonds pulled a semiautomatic pistol from his waistband and fired one shot at the 17-year-old, missing him. As the young men ran away, Bonds fired several more shots, hitting the older youth.
