Officers in the court handcuffed Hughes and helped him to his feet, but he again lunged at Brown; four officers were needed to hold Hughes down. Hughes was taken out of the courtroom by police.
Hughes was charged with contempt of court and has been ordered to serve 7 days in the Hamilton County Justice Center. He has not yet been charged with anything else.
The authorities in the courtroom were not able to contain the father who kept going after the man accused of killing his son.
