You put up a hoop for the kids to play with and get a citation for it.
Dana Briggs Jackson was arrested for missing the court date because she was cited for having the hoop in the public right of way.
“Now if this was something I did criminal that I deserve to go to be in jail, then OK. But I don’t feel I deserve to be in jail over a basketball goal,” said Dana Briggs Jackson.
Jail is exactly where deputies took Jackson.
“It was just the worst day of my life,” Jackson said.
Clayton County Code Enforcement officials said Jackson was arrested not over the basketball goal, but because she didn’t show up for court after she was cited for having the basketball goal in a public right of way.
Jackson said she never knew about a court date and she said paperwork left at her home indicated a lien would be placed on her property if she didn’t remove the goal.
If you ask me: rules were broken, but the rules were complete and utter bullsh*t.
