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."
