Regular people tend to go viral much more these days but not many have gained fame in the manner Judge Mary Kay Holthus did last week.

Following the events on January 3, White posed next to the judge and shared it with his millions of followers on social media.

Just days after the courtroom brawl, the defendant, Deobra Redden, has been charged with attempted murder. The man will also face counts of battery of an officer, battery by a prisoner, battery on a protected person, intimidating a public officer, and other charges, according to CNN.

Redden’s outburst not only resulted in Judge Mary falling back from her chair and hitting her head on the wall behind her, but he also caused more harm to another officer.

According to reports, one courtroom marshal suffered a gashed forehead and a dislocated shoulder. The marshal was taken to hospital for treatment following the attack.
