A
Scottsbluff man unhappy with the 6-month jail sentence he'd just
received for shoplifting took out his frustrations by throwing a
water bottle sitting from the defense table at the judge.
The
bottle missed Scotts Bluff County Judge James Worden and 28 year old
Phillip Enriquez now faces a number of much more serious charges
including assault on a judge, resisting arrest, obstructing a police
officer, and disturbing the peace.
Enriquez,
who'd been out on bond while awaiting sentencing, was tackled to the
floor by a corrections officer after throwing the water bottle, but
continued to struggle and yell threats at Judge Worden.
Another
corrections officer and a sheriff's deputy eventually removed
Enriquez from the courtroom and took him to jail.
