MIAMI (WHDH) -- A judge made sure a defendant will pay for acting out in a South Florida courtroom.
Penelope Soto faced a judge after she was charged with possession of controlled substance on Monday.
When Soto learned her bond amount, she flipped off the judge and cursed him out too.
Judge: "You said [expletive] me?"
Soto: "Yes, sir, I did."
The judge then laid down the law for being in contempt of court.
Judge: "You did say that? I find you in direct criminal contempt. Thirty days in the county jail."
Soto: "OK, that's fine."
