BONNEAU, S.C. (AP) -- A South Carolina woman who displayed plastic testicles on the back of her pickup truck is set to appear in court.

The attorney for Virginia Tice of Bonneau said her trial is set for Wednesday morning in municipal court in the Berkeley County community.

Tice received a $445 ticket last July on a charge that she violated the state's obscene bumper sticker law.

The law says that a sticker or emblem is obscene when it describes in an offensive way sexual acts, excretory functions or body parts.

Bonneau Police Chief Franco Fuda asked for a jury trial, saying questions of obscenity should be determined by community standards.
