Woman in skirt dispute headed back to traffic court

Oct 21, 2011

A woman who was not allowed to enter a DeKalb County court because of the length of her skirt has another hearing date, this time for a tag violation, Channel 2 Action News reported Thursday.

Olivia Walker, who missed her traffic court date on a speeding charge last week because authorities said she was violating the dress code, will be back in court Monday on the tag charge, the report said.

Walker said she was told at the entrance last week that she was dressed inappropriately.
