As the judge handed out his jail sentence, disturbing images of a guy hopping over the bench and viciously assaulting her surfaced, leaving court personnel frantically trying to aid.
Judge Mary Kay Holthus handed down the punishment for aggravated violence with significant bodily injury to Deobra Delone Redden on Wednesday, January 3 (local time) in Clark County District Court in Nevada, US. At an earlier hearing, Redden had admitted guilt to the charges.
Holthus turns down Redden's plea for probation, citing the latter's lengthy criminal record, in the video.
She seems to be reacting to Redden's counsel as she gets ready to condemn him to jail. During a brief scene, she says, "I can appreciate that, but I think it's time he gets a taste of something else, because I just can't with that history..." before she is suddenly surprised.
Suddenly, Redden's voice rises over Holthus's, yelling "no— f**k that bitch" as he unexpectedly rushes across the Las Vegas courtroom, catching the judge, guards, and other staff members off guard.
Her cries echo throughout the courtroom as a fight breaks out behind the judge's bench in this amazing image. Four guys, including both court and security officers, try to hold the man down, but they don't appear to be successful.
The American and Nevada flags, which had been flying behind Holthus, are both lowered to the ground during the struggle. "I implore you. Screams of "Don't do this!" come from a woman's voice as they fight.
After that, Redden is heard muttering obscenities and hitting Holthus many times until he is finally subdued. Holthus suffered "some injuries" and her status "is being monitored" as per the Las Vegas District Court, however the precise nature and severity of her wounds remain unknown.
A trip to the hospital was in order for the wounded marshal. In addition to his prior sentence, Redden is now likely to face further accusations.
In a statement, the court praised the defendant's subduing by her staff, police enforcement, and everyone else. Maintaining a secure courthouse and courtrooms is a top priority for us. In order to ensure the safety of our judges, citizens, and staff, we are examining all of our procedures and will take all required measures.
