A Teenager Gave a Judge Attitude and the Middle Finger . . . So He Doubled Her Bail and Added 30 Days in Jail

 

If you haven't seen it yet, check out the video online of a girl in Miami flipping off the judge at the end of her bond hearing on Monday.

 

 

--The girl's name is Penelope Soto, and she's 18.  She was arrested for possession of Xanax without a prescription, and then acted WAY too casual about it while she was in court.

 

 

--First she was asked if she has any assets, and claimed she owns, quote, "a lot of jewelry."  Then when the judge asked how much it's worth, she said, quote, "A lot of money . . . like Rick Ross." (???)  (--He's the rapper who almost got gunned down in Fort Lauderdale last week.)

 

 

--The judge initially set her bond at $5,000 and told her to leave.  But when she laughed and said "adios," he told her to come back . . . and DOUBLED it. 

 

 

--The she tried to walk off again . . .  but gave him the finger and said "[eff] you" under her breath.  Big mistake.

 

 

--He told her to come back AGAIN, and tacked on 30 DAYS IN JAIL for contempt.  (--Search for "Flipping the Bird to the Judge.")

 

 

A Teenager Swears at a Judge and Gets 30 Days in Jail

On Monday, 18-year-old Penelope Soto was at her bond hearing in Miami for illegal possession of anti-anxiety meds.  But she was acting weird, and was pretty disrespectful to the judge when she walked away at the end . . . so he called her back and DOUBLED her bond, from $5,000 to $10,000.  Then when she turned to leave,  she swore at the judge and flipped him the bird.  So he called her back AGAIN, found her in criminal contempt, and gave her 30 days in the county jail.  Here's a clip from the hearing.  (FCC WARNING:  This clip contains bleeped profanity.  Play it at your own risk.)
