A woman was not allowed to enter a DeKalb County court because officials decided her skirt was too short, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Olivia Walker wore a black outfit to DeKalb County Recorders Court on Tuesday for a hearing for a speeding ticket. She said she was told at the entrance that she was violating the dress code.
"My bra was showing a little bit, so naturally I assumed this is what it was for," she told Channel 2. She then left and put on a jacket.
But apparently, the skirt was the problem.
Sheriff's deputies referred to the posted rules and told Walker that her miniskirt was not permitted, the report said. She contended that her skirt was slightly above the knee and could be pulled down to below the knee.
She was not allowed to proceed and is worried about the result of missing her court date.
"I don't know if they're going to stop me and say there's a warrant out for your arrest because you didn't show up to court," she told Channel 2. "I don't have a piece of paper stating that you can come back at a certain time. I don't have anything."
She is trying to contact the court about the situation.
