A 20-year-old woman was removed from Sacramento's Arden Fair Mall on July 1 after reportedly violating the mall's dress code and flashing security guards on the way out.

According to the Sacramento Bee, Demetriana Miles, a junior at Hampton University in Virginia, was approached by a security guard who told her that her that her crop-top was too revealing.

Miles claims that a "malfunction" exposed part of her bra, telling the Sacramento Bee: "My bra wasn't supposed to be showing. It was just a malfunction with my outfit. Once he told me, I pulled my shirt down and fixed it."

The Sacramento Police Department stated that Miles wasn't wearing a bra at all and that a portion of her breasts was showing.

"Almost half of her breasts were exposed while she was inside the mall," Officer Linda Matthew told the Sacramento Bee.

Miles stated that she was going to buy another shirt to change into until she saw other female shoppers "wearing next to nothing" and being left alone by security.

"The second time he approached me, I was in the food court," Miles said. "I wasn't going to change my clothes if the rules weren't being enforced equally."

Miles ignored the security guard and was eventually escorted out of the mall by Sacramento Police officers along with her mother and younger brother.

It was at this time that Miles flashed the security guards.

"It was a fleeting moment for me, I felt like I was being bullied," Miles said.

The police officers present state that Miles exposed her bare breasts, but Miles insisted that she was wearing a bra.

Miles also accused the mall of discrimination, telling the Sacramento Bee "that other slimmer, white females wearing 'little crop tops that were very tight under their breasts and really short shorts' did not invoke the wrath of security."

The mall gave Miles a $350 gift card, although Miles stated that she does not plan on shopping there again.
