GERING, Neb. (AP) – A 28-year-old man accused of heaving a container of water at a judge has been arraigned on the new charges.
Authorities say Philip Enriquez tossed the container at Judge James Worden on Jan. 30. Worden had just sentenced Enriquez to six months in jail for shoplifting.
The container missed the judge, and Enriquez was wrestled to the floor and taken away after threatening the judge.
Enriquez was in jail when he was arraigned Wednesday via a video system. He’s being held on $500,000 bail. Online court records don’t list the name of his attorney.
