Sheriff Roger Mulch has announced dress requirements for the Jefferson County Courthouse that take effect on Aug. 19, reports KFVS12.
Visitors should not come to the courthouse wearing: cut-offs; shorts; house slippers; tank tops; muscle shirts; halter tops; mesh shirts; hats or do-rags; pajama tops or bottoms; and clothing with inappropriate or offensive logos, pictures or writing.
Clothing should also be worn correctly and as designed, Mulch says.
