    Glitch leaves teacher in jail for 3 days



    DALLAS, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- A high school music teacher cooled her heels in a Texas jail for three days for a seatbelt law violation while officials tried to find her paperwork.

    WFAA-TV in Dallas reported that Theresa Dobbs was held for three days in the Lew Sterrett Jail for showing up late for a hearing on a $50 seatbelt violation.

    It was after the court hearing slipped her mind that the City of Dallas decided to show her who was boss. But City Hall officials say they're not responsible for the clerical error. They insist the problem is with Dallas County.

    A mortified Dobbs, who has no criminal record, was taken to jail by sheriff's deputies in handcuffs from her school.

    She was one of 28 women in a cell designed for eight. "You had to find a patch of concrete on the floor to sleep," said Dobbs, whose only crime was not buckling her seatbelt.

    This is how we treat our legal citizens, while the illegal and her son hides out from the law in a church! What an upside down place America has become.
