Though Delone Redden may have recently pled guilty to a felony battery charge, he evidently failed to learn a lesson about solving problems with his fists rather than his words, proceeding to sack a Las Vegas judge who denied his probation.

The courtroom catastrophe all went down on Wednesday morning when Redden appeared in front of Nevada judge Mary Kay Holthus. Citing Redden’s past criminal record, Judge Holthus shared that she was going to give him  "a taste of something else” for his sentence, a sentiment the evidently violence-prone man did not take kindly.



Upon hearing he was headed behind bars, Redden leaped over the bench, tackling Judge Holthus — and the flags perched behind her — to the ground, his fists and expletives flying akimbo.


After several moments, security officers managed to pry Redden off of the judge. She was later taken to the hospital for her injuries.



While it appears Redden will likely be incarcerated for the foreseeable future — as one Twitter user put it, ”he’s going under the jail,”  — we can only hope that there’s an NFL contract waiting for him upon his release.
