The Maga Florida homeowner, who was fined more than $60,000 by his county for displaying banners on his property in support of President Donald Trump, has won a major legal victory. WJHG-TV reported.
Blaze News readers may recall what they learned about Marvin Peavy in the second half of 2021.
“I'm so glad they came after me, and I've woken up, I have a great lawyer. We feel very good about what's going on. The U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled that you can have a sign in your home. They can't do anything about it.”
The issue with Peavy was that Walton County law enforcement officials began fines of $50 for every day they hang on his property.
“I'm on the beach here, and I got a lot of traffic and people needed to see what I believe.” He told WMBB-TV at that time. “It's free speech, and I wanted everyone to know I'm a Republican and I support Donald Trump.”
WJGH said later last year that Peavy had been fined around $63,000 for several years. The station added that the county's scenic corridor code would allow political flags during the election year, and the fines begin 15 days after the election.
But Peeby never led. In fact, as proven by him Tiktok Page – He has been holding up a colorful pro playing banner Scads since the dust began. With the Trump mug on display prominently, the banner declared, “Who is your dad?” “Trump is back in 2025”, “Bullet Proof”, “You missed Trump 2024”.
“Their law cannot withhold my first amendment rights, so they came after my constitutional rights. Peavee said in an interview with WJHG in November 2024. We feel very good about what's going on. The U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled that you can have a sign in your home. They can't do anything about it.”
According to Daily MailPeavey not only refused to pay the fine, but also took Walton County to court and won.
On March 5, a Circuit Court judge ruled that Peavy could fly his huge pro-Trump banner high and could not evaluate, claim, gather or establish a fine or lien.
