LONDON (AFP) - A suspect was slammed in the cells after he broke wind in a British court then burst out laughing about it.
Joseph Wildy let rip and refused to apologise after he had a fit of the giggles with his co-defendants on Tuesday.
However, magistrate Simon Bridge, sitting in Blackpool, on the northwest coast of England, was not amused by his interruption. He found Wildy in contempt of court and ordered him to be locked up.
After cooling off in the cells, Wildy returned to court 90 minutes later and apologised to Bridge.
"He was laughing in court, that's why he was found in contempt," said a court spokeswoman.
"It was for interrupting the proceedings by laughing, and then refusing to apologise."
Wildy pleaded not guilty to handling stolen goods and was bailed to reappear at a later date at the same court.
