Judge Joe Brown Arrested

The television judge, and former Shelby County criminal court judge was arrested in Memphis.

We are told Brown showed up to Juvenile Court to represent someone in a child support case.

Court workers told Brown they had no record of the case.

Brown reportedly lost control and became verbally abusive.

Juvenile Court Magistrate Harold Horne warned Brown to calm down, but he did not.

Brown was given two days in jail for contempt of court, but that increased to three days when he once again started yelling as he was being removed from the courtroom.
