4 Foot Prisoner Sues Jail

Last Update: 8/28/2006 11:00:32 AM

A vertically challenged ex-con who did time for meth and marijuana is suing the Georgia prison he did time in under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Aspiring rapper Byron Rhodan is an ex-con who happens to be about four feet tall.

Rhodan is suing the state prison system because he fell off the sink in his cell while shaving.

According to the plaintiff, also known as Lil' Dirty, a prison guard ordered him to cut off his stubble, but wouldn't give him anything to stand on so he could see the mirror.

Rhodan says the lack of accommodations for a man of limited stature violates the Americans with Disabilities Act. No comment from the state.
