Defendants finds courtroom wrong place for cussing
Caraway, who is awaiting trial on a kidnapping charge, got a 100-day jail sentence when he refused a judge’s order to clean up his language.
Caraway, 28, insisted on using a four-letter expletive at a hearing before Judge Chris Craft.
Craft warned Caraway not to use the word or face a 10-day jail sentence every time he did.
Caraway repeated the word 10 more times, with the last coming as he was being led from the courtroom by sheriff’s deputies.
Caraway, who has been in jail for about a year, was before Craft to have a new public defender appointed.
“He’s been upset from day one,” said prosecutor Steve Jones.
