Teen Swears at Judge, Flashes Him Middle Finger; Judge Finds Her in Contempt, Adds 30 Days in Jail

After a Miami judge doubled 18-year-old Penelope Soto's bond from $5,000 to $10,000, the teen seemed quite surprised, the Fox News Insider website reports today (February 5, 2013).

"Are you serious?" she exclaimed. The judge responded, "I am serious. Adios."

That's when Soto -- as she exited the courtroom -- swore at the judge and flashed him her middle finger. He called her back to verify what she had just said.

The judge said, "I find you in direct criminal contempt. Thirty days in the county jail."

Soto was originally arrested for illegal possession of anti-anxiety medication.
