LAKE CITY, Fla. – Charges have been dropped against a Florida man who refused to remove what a deputy considered an obscene sticker from his vehicle's window.
The State Attorney's Office in Columbia County filed court documents Thursday saying it won't prosecute Dillon Shane Webb, 23, who had been charged with obscenity and resisting an officer without violence. The filing said a valid defense could be raised under the First Amendment, which protects free speech.
