Defense Attorney Held in Contempt of Court

Courtroom antics by defense attorney Charles Monty Montgomery of Belton resulted in 266th Judicial District Court Judge Donald R. Jones finding the attorney in contempt of court and sentencing him to spend six hours in the Erath County Jail and a $500 fine. After Montgomery pleaded that he could not pay the fine and would need some medical supplies if he had to remain in jail until the fine was paid, Jones waived the fine.
