MILFORD, Conn. (AP) -- A man has been jailed for six months on a contempt charge after dropping his pants and mooning a judge. Richard Brown, 38, as jailed Wednesday after an outburst in front of Superior Court Judge Patrick Carroll.


Smith shouted insults and obscenities after the judge had told him to address the court as "sir."

"Sir? Kiss my (expletive), sir!" Brown shouted, dropping the pants of his two-piece prison jumpsuit and pointing his rear end at the judge.

Carroll summarily sentenced Brown to six months in prison for contempt of court.

Brown continued to shout taunts and expletives, including allegations that court officials are "racist" and "devils," as he was restrained by state marshals and forcibly escorted through the side door of the courtroom to a holding cell.

Brown's outburst came during a plea hearing, during which he was expected to plead guilty to armed robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery, in exchange for a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison, suspended after 10 served.

After the outburst, the prosecutor withdrew the plea agreement.

Brown is next due to appear in court Nov. 24.
