Felon who attacked judge during sentencing now in solitary confinement

Deobra Redden, now known as the “flying” felon who attacked a Vegas judge has now been hit with more charges and is now placed in solitary confinement.

Deobra Redden was moved to a solo cell following his violent outburst where he leapt over the bench at Judge Mary Kay Holthus earlier this week, punching her in the head and pulling her hair while court staffers rushed to her aid.

This occurred while he was in court for a previous conviction for attempted battery with substantial bodily harm. His attorney had asked Judge Holthus for parole, but she chose to sentence the 3-time felon instead which set him off and led to the attack.

Redden has been classified as a “2C” inmate, which is the most restrictive classification in the Clark County Jail.
