2:51Now PlayingA 16-year-old girl on a field trip to the 36th District Court in Detroit was ordered by a judge to wear handcuffs and a jail uniform as a consequence of falling asleep in his courtroom and allegedly giving him an attitude.
The incident was captured on video by the court, via Zoom.
"You fall asleep in my courtroom one more time, I’m putting you in the back, understood?" Judge Kenneth King told the teenage girl.
The teen was on a field trip with the environmental non-profit Greening of Detroit on Tuesday. King expressed his displeasure with her behavior after she fell asleep twice in the courtroom.
"Why are you being disrespectful to this court?" King said. "You sleep at home, in your bed – not in court. And quite frankly, I don’t like your attitude."
When the judge asked the 16-year-old, "what is your problem?" She responded with, "I apologize, I’m just tired."
Sources close to the situation told FOX 2 that at this point, the field trip turned into a "Scared Straight!" simulation to send a message.
