WATCH: Woman in Kentucky attacks judge after being sentenced to 10 days in prison

A Kentucky woman accused of domestic violence had serious objections with a judge's sentence early this week, attacking the jurist after getting jail time.
Wayne County Family Court video shows Melissa Harvick arguing with Judge Jennifer Upchurch Edwards before being sentenced to 10 days in prison for contempt of court.
As soon as Edwards said, "You go now," Harvick lost it.
She leaps over the bench and tries to choke Edwards, who remains, surprisingly, stonefaced through the whole dramatic hearing.
It took two court officers to subdue the irate woman, WKYT.com reported.
"I put her on the floor, restrained her, using my knee and any other body part I could to hold her on the floor while I handcuffed her," Court Officer Adam Dodson told WKYT.
Harvick is in jail, and her contempt of court sentence is expected to be lengthened, according to the report.

Ya don't say. Can someone be DOUBLE guilty?
Clicky the linky.
Some women just can’t stand to be told what to do by a man.
WOW! How many suffered at her violence before it was brought to court. She’s got some jump going on there! I guess the judges has no doubts about her domestic violence charge.
Just a pet peeve but I hate the misuse of the word “prison” in this context.
You go to jail for ten days. You go to prison for ten years.
Agreed - but that judge was a woman - which ticks them off even more!
This is probably the first bit of good luck her husband has had since he married her.
Idiot. What I found hilarious was the reaction of the court officers...their body language and demeanor suggests: “Ugh. We got another jumper here...well, git er’ down...bring the cuffs over.”
Hehe, just another day.
Admit it, Adam. You're trying to brag a little, aren't you?
Well, duh.
Dont you see, she was just trying to get her “Rocket Science 101” book from the desk. Maybe it was “Advanced Brain Surgery”, I forget.

"Sidebar, your honor?"
She assaulted a judge and all she gets is a contempt of court charge?
“You go to jail for ten days. You go to prison for ten years.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Yep, but in this state every day in jail awaiting trial counts as two days served on any resulting prison sentence because the county jail is considered a far worse place to be than any prison in the state.
That's what I don't get. What was the perp reaching for with her talons? Wasn't the judge's face.
You don't wear the stretchy pants fer nuthin'.
Naturally.
Pokeyface.
“well, let’s just say, that judge BETTER be packin’ something that can put down a wildcat.”
They even named it the Judge, Taurus Judge.
