There was loud banging and yelling just behind a courtroom in Northampton yesterday forcing the judge to bring proceedings to a halt in yesterday.

It was the result of an enraged teenager who had to be restrained by deputies.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that authorities say a 16-year old boy had come from a juvenile detention center.

He had been accused of sexually assaulting a staff member.

Authorities the paper that the boy had become enraged after being sentenced to 20 more days in detention.

They said that he lunged at the bench where a substitute Judge was sitting.

It was then that proceedings in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court was halted for a time.
