A MUM who was threatened with arrest over her too short shorts had her buttocks hanging out and was unruly and offensive to staff, the theme park Six Flags has claimed.
Earlier this month, mum Bailey Breedlove claimed security guards at the Oklahoma tourist hotspot approached her regarding her 11-year-old daughter s Heelys before turning their attention to her outfit.

The visual art scene, however, lacked a center. Local artists were creating work that could compete in New York, but Texas galleries weren’t interested in showing contemporary art, and few buyers knew what to select to impress their friends. “It was just bluebonnet paintings,” remembers the artist Barry Buxkamper, who was an undergraduate student at UT when he first met Hickey. This was the void Hickey set out to fill.
The name “A Clean Well-Lighted Place” was a reference to a rather bleak story by Ernest Hemingway, who was one of the subjects of Hickey’s dissertation, and a literal description of what he wanted to create: a gallery with good art on the walls and good natural light. It was also an inside joke about what the gallery represented to him: the controlled burn of his previous life as an academic. “I coined the first axiom of ‘combat aesthetics,’ ” he later said. “Nothing can light up the place you are like a burning bridge behind you.”
Six Flags told McClatchy News, the owner of the paper, that Breedlove used offensive language not seen in the TikTok video, and was initially stopped because her shorts exposed a significant portion of her buttocks.
Six Flags did not immediately respond to an email from Fox News, but said in the statement to the paper that Breedlove was given multiple opportunities to change or cover up, but refused. Instead, she responded with profanity and offensive conduct, including further exposing her buttocks, the statement said.
The park said she was removed because she refused to stop her unruly and offensive behavior.
Becoming a 1 percenter wasn’t exactly what Jerry Warden had in mind when he threw his hat into the ring for Arlington mayor.
Warden, 60, a well-known metalhead from the band Warlock, collected just over 1 percent of the vote during the May 1 mayoral election after he was thrown out of the race. Eight names had been placed on the ballot for mayor and Warden owned the top slot. However, the dogged determination of rival mayoral candidate Jim Ross led to Warden getting officially booted from the race because of his past felonies.
Warden had served 15 years in prison after “being convicted in 1996 on charges of kidnapping and sexually abusing a 24-year-old woman,” according to
