If you flip someone off in traffic, you might get angry stares or a nasty honk of the car horn, but if you do it in court, expect much more severe consequences.
A McHenry County man found that out the hard way.
Kane Kellett, 24, raised his middle finger while he was being sworn in to face home invasion charges at a rights hearing, the Daily Herald reported. He also hurled profanity at Judge G. Martin Zopp.
Zopp promptly gave Kellett six months in jail for contempt of court.
Kellett was wanted on charges of aggravated battery and assault. He is accused of attacking two people, including a pregnant woman last month in Crystal Lake, Deputy Police Chief Dennis Harris told CBS 2.
He is accused of punching the woman in the face and kicking her in the ribs after she fell on Oct. 13. He is also charged with a home invasion on Oct. 14, in which he forced his way in by kicking down a door to a multi-family home in Crystal Lake, battered a resident with a flashlight, and fled once police were called, Harris said.
Kellett was on the McHenry County Sheriff's Top 10 Most Wanted List and was described as "armed and dangerous" before he was arrested Friday night.
