Big Mouth Lands Lady in Jail For 3 Days

JOLIET, IL — A judge’s repeated warnings to a talkative, disrespectful woman fell on deaf ears, and the motormouth ended up heading to jail for it, according to court papers.

Brittany Hutcheson, 28, was “admonished … repeatedly to stop interrupting the court and talking disrespectfully to the court,” and was “warned of the consequences if she failed to stop talking,” according to a court order from Will County Judge Victoria Kennison.

But Hutcheson went on “acting/speaking disrespectfully” and was found in contempt of court, the order said.

Judge Kennison gave Hutcheson a chance to “speak in her defense,” the order said, and then sent her to jail for three days.

Hutcheson was appearing before Kennison Monday morning for a child custody case. Her release from jail was scheduled for Thursday.
