An Atlanta man was jailed after attempting to take down a confederate flag in the Upstate.

The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office arrested 23 year old James Blitch, of Atlanta Georgia Saturday for trespassing into a property on Teaberry Road in Spartanburg. He was attempting to lower a confederate flag flying at mm76 off 85SB. According to Deputies, Blitch did not agree with the flag.
