The tables have officially turned

Judge Joe Brown has been arrested at a Memphis juvenile court as he attempted to get inside to represent a client in a child support case. TMZ reports that Brown attempted to get past court staff but couldn’t because they weren’t aware of such a case happening at the time in question.

Brown allegedly went on to blow a fuse, shouting, screaming and, according to one onlooker, “nearly incited a riot”.

Despite the sitting judge’s repeated requests for Brown to calm down during his rampage, Brown was not to be tamed, and he was arrested for contempt of court.
