Today Mlive reported...

"Clearly growing agitated, Jackson County Circuit Judge John McBain threw off his robe and helped tackle to the ground a defiant man during a hearing on a personal protection order violation."

Due to the Defendants lack of respect for the judge, the law, and the victim, Judge McBain ordered him to jail time. When the  Court Officer attempted to cuff the defendant, the defendant started to "hand fight" the officer

As the judge rushed over to help the court officer, that was struggling because the defendant was resisting arrest  he was quoted as saying "Tase his ass."

Mlive was able to speak with Jackson County Chief Circuit Judge Thomas Wilson who stated...

"A judge has the power to take whatever action is necessary to maintain order in the courtroom," he said and noted circuit court judges have arresting powers."
