Felon pummels inmate in same courtroom where man jumped at judge | US News

A felon who pleaded guilty to biting a cop proceeded to beat another inmate – in the same courtroom where a man recently jumped at a judge.

Dustin Langham, 18, was sitting next to fellow inmate Berdon Bridge in Clark County District Court when Langham got up suddenly and began pounding Bridge who was seated in front of him, shows a video obtained by KLAS.

Yelling could be heard including curse words beeped out, and a people could be heard demanding, ‘sit down’.

Court marshals and corrections officers separated the men and handcuffed Langham on the ground. Bridge was escorted away by officers and the other inmates in the Las Vegas courtroom were also led out.

Langham had pleaded guilty to multiple counts of battery by a prisoner after biting a Clark County Detention Center officer’s hand, records indicate. Langham was sentenced to probation in September after being charged with battery causing substantial bodily harm.

Meanwhile, Bridge had pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted possession or ownership of a firearm by a prohibited person, records show. Judge Bita Yeager sentenced him to one to four years in prison, before Langham attacked him and disturbed order in the courtroom.

The wild moment at the hearing on Thursday unfolded in the same courtroom where a man lunged over a bench and punched a judge last month.

Surveillance cameras captured Deobra Delone Redden, 30, launching himself ‘superman style’ at Judge Mary Kay Holthus after she denied him bail for a baseball bat assault.

Redden could be heard saying, ‘Nah, f*** that, b***h’, before flying over the bench and knocking Holthus off her chair in the January 3 incident. The footage went viral.

He was quoted in a court record saying that the ‘judge has it out for me’ and that he was having a bad day and trying to kill her. Redden, who was charged with attempted murder against an older person in the attack on the judge, had his next court appearance scheduled for February 14.
