(AP) -- CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - A trial has been delayed for a Berkeley County woman who got a ticket for displaying plastic testicles on the back of her pickup truck.

Virginia Tice of Bonneau (Bah-NO) was to have gone to trial in municipal court Wednesday. But her lawyer, Scott Bischoff, said he was contacted by the court asking that the trial be delayed. 

The reason for the delay was not immediately clear. The Bonneau Town Hall is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

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

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