Judge Mary Kay Holthus was sentencing 30-year-old Deobra Redden in Clark County District Court following his conviction for attempted violence causing significant bodily harm, according to KLAS.
Redden's lawyer requested that Holthus sentence his client to probation at around eleven, but Holthus had other plans for the offender.
Video by the Shade Rooms showed Redden running up to the bench, throwing himself over with his arms spread, and tackling the judge.
A state flag for Nevada and an American flag crashed in the chaos. In the turmoil that preceded, Redden yelled obscenities at Holthus, and the clip showed him wrestling with several other people.
While the judge was still on the ground, court officers hauled him away, but he managed to escape and attempted to follow her again, as seen on camera. He even traded blows with other participants in the fight.
In a separate story, a Florida burglary suspect identified as Demetrius Lewis showered a female judge with compliments during a virtual court appearance.
During the court meeting, the man told the judge how gorgeous she was and even went as far as professing love to her.
The judge identified as Tabitha Blackmon smiled and told the suspect that his flattery would not work in a court of law. But the suspect could not stop emphasising her looks.
He said:
“Judge, you are so gorgeous, so gorgeous judge, I just had to tell you. You are gorgeous. I love you. I love you."
