Defendant gets extra jail time for swearing at judge.

Up Next:

A man named Darrell Jarrell had a very eventful day in court. He had been charged with misdemeanor trespassing and was appearing before Washtenaw County Judge Cedric Simpson for a pre-trial hearing. However, things took a turn for the worse when Jarrell decided to let loose a string of expletives and challenge the judge to "kiss my a**". Needless to say, this did not bode well for him.

In a video recorded by the Michigan court, Jarrell can be seen getting increasingly agitated and expressing his desire to leave the state as soon as possible. He even went as far as to say that he could simply leave and not return, daring the judge to issue a warrant. But this outburst only landed him in more trouble, as the judge immediately hit back with a sentence of more than a year in jail.

Despite being told to stop, Jarrell continued to curse and swear, causing the judge to intervene and hand out more contempt of court charges. By the end of the hearing, Jarrell had accumulated six consecutive 93-day sentences, totaling 558 days behind bars. As he was led away in handcuffs by courtroom guards, the next defendant in line, Keith Jenkins, could only watch in shock.

Jenkins, who was appearing on Zoom, had a much more light-hearted interaction with the judge. He greeted the judge politely, and even made him laugh with his friendly demeanor. This was a stark contrast to Jarrell's explosive behavior, and it just goes to show how different people can react in the same courtroom.

This was not the first bizarre hearing that Judge Simpson had presided over. In May, he was taken aback when a defendant appeared in a Zoom hearing while driving a car. And he's not the only judge who has had to deal with unexpected moments in the courtroom. Earlier this year, a defendant in Las Vegas made headlines after attacking a judge before being restrained.

It's safe to say that Judge Simpson has seen his fair share of oddities in the courtroom. But through it all, he remains calm and professional, handling each situation with grace and humor.
