LAS VEGAS -- A Nevada judge was attacked Wednesday by a defendant in a felony battery case who leaped over a defense table and the judge's bench, landing atop her and sparking a bloody brawl involving court officials and attorneys, officials and witnesses said.

In a violent scene captured by courtroom video, Clark County District Judge Mary Kay Holthus fell back from her seat against a wall and suffered some injuries but was not hospitalized, courthouse officials said.

A courtroom marshal was also injured as he came to the judge’s aid and was hospitalized for treatment of a bleeding gash on his forehead and a dislocated shoulder, according to the officials and witnesses.

The attack occurred about 11 a.m. at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas.

The defendant, Deobra Delone Redden, 30, was wrestled to the floor behind the judge's bench by several court and jail officers and courtroom staff members — including some who are seen throwing punches.

He was arrested and jailed at the Clark County Detention Center, where records showed he faces multiple new felony charges including battery on a protected person — referring to the judge and court officers.

“It happened so fast it was hard to know what to do,” said Richard Scow, the chief county district attorney who prosecuted Redden on a case that stemmed from an arrest last year on allegations that Redden attacked a person with a baseball bat.

Redden’s defense attorney, Caesar Almase, did not respond to later telephone and email messages seeking comment.

Redden was not in custody when he arrived at court Wednesday. He wore a white shirt and dark pants as he stood next to Almase, asking the judge for leniency while describing himself as "a person who never stops trying to do the right thing no matter how hard it is.“

“I'm not a rebellious person,” he told the judge, later adding that he doesn't think he should be sent to prison. "But if it's appropriate for you then you have to do what you have to do.”

As the judge made it clear she intended to put him behind bars, and the court marshal moved to handcuff him, Redden yelled expletives and charged forward — amid screams from people who had been sitting with Redden in the courtroom audience.

Records showed that Redden, a Las Vegas resident, was evaluated and found mentally competent to stand trial before pleading guilty in November to a reduced charge of attempted battery causing substantial bodily harm. He previously served prison time in Nevada on a domestic battery conviction, state records show.

Holthus, a career prosecutor with more than 27 years of courthouse experience, was elected to the state court bench in 2018 and again in 2022.

In a statement, court spokesperson Mary Ann Price said officials were “reviewing all our protocols and will do whatever is necessary to protect the judiciary, the public and our employees.”

Okay

Next time this dude appears in court, it would be in hand and leg chains.

He just made a bad case go worse.

There is no perfect nation. If this happens in Nigeria you and I will say it can't happen in any advance nation.

Jesus loves you

k

He has 4ucked himself 4 life

I so much love this, after all he's a black man and must always have a taste of something different. Pathetic racists.

Go to all the prisons in US, black men and women dominate.

That's crazy! Certified criminal doing his thing

This one na before you kill me I go kill you.

Those judges that delivered the Presidential Election Judgement should thank God that Deo is not a Nigerian 😡 ...

Wow!

It must be a black man

See Village people.


This guy go old for prison.

I think the whites need to be more careful in the way they handle these criminals in court during any kind of trial regardless of the weight of the crime because most of the times I see how loose they are with security when treating a case. Even the way the hardened criminals are allowed to freely express themselves in an odd manner leaves me wondering if this Whites really know what they are doing.

Criminals are not to treated nicely. They should be bundled up in court during trials because they are capable of anything. Once a criminal, always a criminal. Never to be underestimated.

The guy flying like Jackie Chan

Mad and crazy things are happening among this white people

See how the guy dey fly

Its look like a movie

Automatic no parole and prison sentence different from his first sentence.
That was dumb

The US is a country filled with retards. If he had a gun he would have shot and killed her, including everyone around too. Thank God he wasn't with a gun.

NGFA - No Gree For Anybody

This is what I expected Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to have done when the Supreme Court did not release him the other time. This will give the judges the opportunity to sentence him to at least 20 years in Kuje Prison
