A man accused of attacking a Las Vegas judge in a viral video last week is now facing an attempted murder charge, court records show.
Deobra Redden is accused of attacking District Judge Mary Kay Holthus on Wednesday during his sentencing hearing for an attempted battery with substantial bodily harm charge.
Holthus ordered Redden back to court on Monday morning, when she handed down a sentence of 19 to 48 months in prison.
“I want to make it clear that I am not changing or modifying the sentence I was in the process of imposing last week before I was interrupted by the defendant’s actions,” Holthus said.
Prosecutors also filed a criminal complaint on Monday, charging Redden, 30, with attempted murder against an older person, battery on a protected person resulting in substantial bodily harm against an older person, extortion, intimidating a public officer with threat of force, disregarding the safety of a person resulting in substantial bodily harm, battery by a probationer or parolee, unlawful act regarding fluid by a prisoner in confinement, and six counts of battery on a protected person, court records show.
