A preliminary hearing in Colorado took an unprecedented turn when a burglary suspect decided to weaponise his own excrement in a shocking courtroom protest.
The disruptive incident occurred in a Westminster courtroom where 31-year-old Brandon St. Martin, facing serious burglary charges, chose an unorthodox method of expressing his dissatisfaction with the judicial process.
The Unfolding Drama
According to court documents and police reports, the situation escalated rapidly when St. Martin, seemingly without warning, produced human waste and hurled it toward the bench where the presiding judge was seated.
The projectile missed its intended target but succeeded in creating immediate pandemonium within the courtroom. The judge quickly called for a recess as bailiffs moved to secure the situation.
Immediate Aftermath
The courtroom required immediate evacuation and professional cleaning services were summoned to address the biohazard situation. Proceedings were suspended indefinitely while authorities assessed the security breach.
"This is one of the most disgusting things I've witnessed in my career," commented one court officer who wished to remain anonymous. "It shows complete disregard for the court, for the process, and for basic human decency."
Legal Consequences
St. Martin now faces additional charges beyond his original burglary counts, including assault and disrupting official proceedings. Legal experts suggest this behaviour could significantly impact his case and potential sentencing.
Court administrators have launched a review of security protocols to prevent similar incidents in future proceedings.
The case has been rescheduled while authorities complete their investigation into the courtroom disruption, marking one of the more unusual episodes in recent Colorado legal history.
