A Michigan man who tried to pay for a traffic ticket with rolls of pennies was choked by a court officer to the point where he passed out and pooped his pants, the man's attorney said.
In February, Anthony Sevy went to pay a $10 parking ticket at a Michigan district court, but after learning he'd be levied a $1.75 surcharge for paying with his credit card, Sevy left and returned with ten bucks in pennies.
“He wasn’t happy about it so, in symbolic protest, he brought back penny rolls to pay for his ticket. The clerk wasn’t too happy about that, they refused to allow him to pay with penny rolls,” said Sevy's attorney, Jonathan Marco, while speaking with Fox affiliate WJBK.
After being asked to leave, Sevy headed towards the exit when he was followed by two officers into the building's vestibule.
“As he was leaving the courthouse with his back to the officer, the court officer began to choke him out, grabbing him, brought him to the ground,” Marco said, adding that Sevy lost consciousness and soiled his britches. “I don’t think that in the everyday course of business, we poop our pants or go around defecating ourselves.”
Officers arrested Sevy and he ended up in jail. Now he's suing court officials.
