MEMPHIS, Tenn. (CBS/AP) A 45-year-old man angry over
two teens' sagging pants fired several shots at them during
an argument, hitting one in the buttocks, police said.

Two male teens were walking to a house in southeast
Memphis where a woman sells candy when Kenneth E. Bonds
yelled at them to pull up their pants, police Sgt. Ron Perry
said in an arrest document.
Perry said the teens refused and the three began arguing in
the street. Bonds then brandished a semi-automatic pistol
and threatened to shoot the teens.
Bonds fired one shot but missed, Perry said. As the teens
ran away, Bonds fired several more rounds and
hit a 17-year-old in the rear.
The bullet exited through the teen's thigh, and he went
to a hospital in non-critical condition, Perry said. The other
teen was not injured. The Associated Press isn't identifying
the teens because they're juveniles.
Police arrested Bonds this past weekend on two
aggravated assault charges after speaking with a witness
and Bonds, who acknowledged shooting the teen,
Perry said.
Bonds was released from jail Monday on $25,000 bond.
