Former
TV judge Joe Brown was dragged from a Memphis juvenile court hearing on Monday
after the presiding magistrate found him in contempt for inciting the courtroom
crowd.
Brown
reportedly worked the courtroom into a froth as he questioned the authority of
the magistrate while he was there representing a client in a child support
case.
'He
all but had that courtroom in a riot,' said Juvenile Court Chief Magistrate Dan
Michael.
According
to WREG,
the fight was sparked after Brown was told there was no record of the case he
was there to plead.
In
audio taken during the heated exchange, Brown becomes progressively angrier as
the magistrate schedules a court date in April for his client.
'He
then began a diatribe against Mr. Horne and the authority of the court,'
Michael said.
'You
want to get in to this, let's get into this, this sorry operation needs to
stop!' Brown yells at the magistrate in audio taken from the scene.
Horne
had Brown removed and gave him a day in jail, but Brown began to scream ever
louder as he was dragged away and it won him four more days.
