SC woman going to court over ‘truck nuts’

BONNEAU, S.C. (AP) – A Berkeley County woman will get a jury trial for a ticket she was given by police for displaying big plastic testicles on the back of her pickup truck.

The Post and Courier of Charleston reported that Virginia Tice of Bonneau was given a $445 ticket July 5 that accuses her of violating the state’s obscene bumper sticker law.

Police Chief Franco Fuda asked for a jury trial, saying questions of obscenity should be determined by community standards.

Tice’s attorney, Scott Bischoff, expects a trial next month. A relative said Tice didn’t want to talk about the case before the trial.

She was ticketed after pulling into a gas station in her truck with big red fake testicles hanging from the trailer hitch.
