Popular TV judge Joe Brown has been arrested after having a meltdown in a Memphis courtroom! The Judge, whose television show was cancelled last year, went to court to represent someone in a child support case. However, he was told by court staff they had no record of the case. Apparently, that sent him off the edge, because Brown reportedly lost it … becoming verbally abusive.
Juvenile Court Magistrate Harold Horne warned Brown to calm down repeatedly, which he ignored. Consequently, he was arrested for contempt of court. He was given two days in jail for contempt of court, but that increased to three days when he once again started yelling as he was being removed from the courtroom.
Lord, have mercy! Brown is running for Shelby County District Attorney, but I have a feeling that is not going to go well for him after this meltdown.
