LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A robbery suspect caused a brief disturbance in arraignment court Thursday morning when he made sexually charged comments to a judge and began walking away from the proceedings without permission.
Joshua Ewing, age 22, was arrested Wednesday evening and charged with first degree robbery.
The alleged robbery took place on Jan. 23. Police say Ewing and at least one accomplice walked into the Your Community Bank on Magisterial Drive, near the intersection of Old Henry Road and Nelson Miller Parkway.
The suspects were allegedly wearing masks and carrying guns.
Police say Ewing leaped over the counter and pointed a gun at both employees and customers, then took money from the bank vault.
The bank lost approximately $93,000 in the incident, police say.
The suspects then fled the scene.
Ewing was arrested Wednesday by Louisville Metro Police.
On Thursday morning, when he appeared before judge for arraignment, he caused a brief disturbance. Ewing used vulgar language and obscene hand gestures as he verbally blasted the judge and began walking away from the proceedings. But he was quickly brought back in -- and the judge added a contempt charge to the robbery charge he's already facing.
