Judge Mary Kay Holthus of the Clark County District Court in Las Vegas faced a violent incident on Wednesday, January 3, as she delivered a sentence for felony battery.
During the sentencing of 30-year-old Deobra Redden, the convict forcibly broke free and violently brought her to the ground.
Despite Redden’s attorney advocating for probation for his client, Judge Holthus remained steadfast in her decision.
Following Holthus’s remark about him needing to “get a taste of something else,” Redden vaulted over the bench and assaulted her, creating pandemonium in the courtroom.
Several individuals, including the bailiff, promptly intervened to restrain Redden amidst the chaos, with screams and scuffles persisting. Some even managed to land punches on Redden before the tumultuous incident finally concluded.
According to information from 8 News Now, sources revealed that Judge Holthus hit her head during the frightening incident but was ultimately unharmed.
Redden has a history of encounters with the law and has faced Judge Holthus in previous instances. He was previously brought before the judge for charges related to property destruction and served a one-year prison sentence for a separate domestic battery charge.
In November, Redden pleaded guilty to making threats to harm a man’s kneecaps in April, causing “substantial bodily harm.” Following a missed court appearance in December, Holthus issued a bench warrant for his arrest.
