A man who was seen on video leaping over a court table and
attacking a Nevada judge while in court last week has been
charged with attempted murder, according to a criminal complaint.

Deobra Redden, 30, also faces counts of battery on a protected
person, battery of an officer, battery by a prisoner,
intimidating a public officer, extortion and other charges in
connection with the January 3 attack on Judge Mary Kay Holthus
during his sentencing in another case, the court document says.

"Once he knew she was about to sentence him to prison, (Redden)
did leap over defense counsel table into the well of the
courtroom, thereafter rushing towards the judicial bench and
jumping over it 'superman' style directly into Judge Mary Kay
Holthus's judicial space, landing directly on top of her and
immediately attacking Judge Mary Kay Holthus by grabbing her,
pulling her hair, placing his hands around her throat and/or
hitting her on the head," the criminal complaint details.

Several of the battery charges allege Redden fought with a Las
Vegas Metropolitan Police officer, a clerk and a marshal, and
spit on an officer, according to the complaint.

On Tuesday, he appeared in court before a different judge and a
preliminary hearing on the new charges was set for February 14.

On Monday, Redden had appeared before Holthus again to resume
the sentencing in the first battery case, for which he was
ordered to serve 19 months to four years in prison. His hands,
mouth and face were covered during his court appearance.

Redden's attorney in the original battery case declined to
comment through his law firm's receptionist Tuesday.

An attorney on the more recent case has yet to be appointed.

Defense attorney had asked for leniency
The incident unfolded last Wednesday after Redden and his
attorney asked the judge for probation rather than time behind
bars, saying the 30-year-old is getting his life back on track
with a new job and plans to resume his education.

Holthus then read the defendant's criminal history aloud in
court, which included "three felonies ... misdemeanors, multiple
DVs (domestic violence) ... robberies, attempted home invasion."

Redden's attorney told the judge he believed his client could
complete probation successfully.

"I appreciate that," the judge replied, "but I think it's time
that he get a taste of something else because - I just can't,
with that history."

Seconds later, Redden shouted expletives and ran toward the
judge, leaping over the bench and attacking her. Redden tackled
Holthus to the ground, and both disappeared from the camera's
view behind the bench, the video shows.

As others in the courtroom tried to restrain him, Redden
screamed another expletive and threw several punches.

The judge stayed on the ground for several minutes before
standing up, appearing to say she hit her head. Holthus
"experienced some injuries," a statement from Clark County
Courts read.

By Thursday, she was back at work, but remained "sore and
stiff," Chief Judge Jerry Wiese told reporters.
