A homeless man was charged with a felony for camping. He’s one of the first

Joseph Lamont Williams, a homeless man in Nashville, was arrested and charged with a felony for camping in a public park, making him one of the first in the U.S. to face such charges under Tennessee's no-camping law. Eleven states have enacted similar bans since the Supreme Court allowed cities to restrict public camping, sparking debate over enforcement and its impact on unhoused individuals.
