(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte man is facing charges related to his alleged high volume remarks to a judge that included courtroom profanity.
Dion Williams, 28, was held in contempt of court and charged with resisting law enforcement along with disorderly conduct.
According to court documents, Williams appeared before La Porte Superior Court 3 Judge Jeffrey Thorne on March 25 on a still undecided charge of operating while intoxicated filed last year.
One of the stipulations of his bond is to have a device that measures for any alcohol consumption at home since one of the terms of his release is not to consume alcohol.
The judge asked him to show up for his next hearing with proof that he obtained the device. In response, among the things Williams stated was the judge has issues and is treating him like his “significant other,” authorities said.
He was ordered back in front of the judge and told to leave or risk being held in contempt of court. However, Williams becoming defiant started yelling at the judge and cussing, which resulted in him struggling with courthouse security officers trying to place him in handcuffs, court documents revealed.
He had just been escorted in handcuffs out of the courtroom when he tried going back inside against the resistance from security officers, who managed to get him to the county jail several hundred feet away with help from sheriff’s deputies, authorities said.
