GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Another Michigan man has run afoul of a century-old law that prohibits cursing in the presence of women and children.
Jeffery Richards, 27, is scheduled for a pretrial hearing Monday on charges of assault, disturbing the peace and using indecent language.
Earlier this year a judge ruled that the 102-year-old law is constitutional and upheld the conviction of another man who swore in front of children after tumbling out of a canoe.

Richards is accused of using foul language in front of children on a school bus on Nov. 2. Richards said he used a mild obscenity, and only because he believed his daughter was being manhandled and verbally abused by the driver.
