The thug who violently attacked Las Vegas judge is now in solitary confinement after admitting he attacked her because he was having a 'bad day'

A serial criminal who threw himself at a Las Vegas judge and knocked her to the ground as she prepared to jail him has been placed in solitary confinement.

Deobra Redden, 30, launched herself at Judge Mary Kay Holthus, saying “nah f*** that b**ch” as she rejected his pleas for more probation.

Court video showed Holthus disappearing under a flurry of blows from the criminal as she begged him to stop before security personnel managed to drag him away.

After the violent outburst, Redden has now been transferred to a solo cell TMZ. He was classified as a “2C” inmate, the most restrictive category in the Clark County Jail.

It comes after he admitted trying to kill Judge Holthus because he was having a 'bad day', according to court documents viewed by CLASS.

Redden will not interact with other inmates and will eat alone in his cell with extremely limited time outside while in solitary confinement.

He told corrections officers, “The judge has it in for me,” after he was arrested following the outburst, court documents show.

The thug is said to have added: “Judge is bad,” before apologizing to officers.

“I'm sorry you guys had to see that,” he said before reportedly asking another officer if what he did was wrong.

He allegedly spat in a corrections officer's face after the incident while still in the courthouse.

Holthus' head was slammed into the wall during the incident and she told police that Redden was “big, strong and angry.”

She was treated at the justice center before being taken to hospital by a family member due to persistent pain. The judge was later released.

“She remains sore and stiff, but is grateful this was not more serious,” said Clark County Chief Judge Jerry Wiese.

Court Marshal Shane Brandon suffered a cut to his face that required 25 stitches, while Clerk Michael Lasso suffered several minor hand abrasions.

Redden had added six new felony charges in Nevada, where judicial officials are “protected persons” but refused to leave jail to face another judge.

The felon has been repeatedly jailed, paroled and paroled for a string of violent crimes dating back at least 12 years, but told Holthus, “I think I'm in a better place in my mind,” before attempting to convict him.

Redden, who was supported in court by his mother, was first jailed in 2012 when he was given 45 days for assault causing bodily harm to a family member.

The following year he was jailed for another two months after three domestic battery convictions, but escaped with probation in 2014 when he was convicted of attempted robbery.

He was convicted twice of domestic violence and once of battery causing substantial bodily harm while on probation, but was sentenced to extended probation, receiving an “honorable discharge” in 2020.

The following year he was charged with attempted home invasion and destroying the property of another person, and again with domestic battery, and this time received a prison sentence of 12 to 30 months.

In January last year, he had his first meeting with Judge Holthus regarding the home invasion charge.

She released him without bail after he pleaded guilty and sentenced him to a year of probation in February.

Two months later, he was arrested after threatening to “smash another man's kneecaps” with a baseball bat, “resulting in significant bodily harm.”

In May, he was ordered to undergo a competency determination, which found him competent in October.

Holthus issued a warrant for his arrest in December after he admitted to the battery charge but failed to appear for sentencing before the pair came face to face on Wednesday.

“I would like to tell the court that based on my criminal history, I feel I should not be sent to prison,” he told her as she considered his sentence.

“Have you looked into your criminal history?” she asked.

“Three felonies, one gross (misdemeanor), nine misdemeanors, multiple domestic assaults.

“There's a lot going on, sir. Battery on a protected person, robbery, attempted home invasion.”

“I just think I'm in a better place in my mind, my mental health. I have a support system,” he told her.

“I just got hired as a teamster for a union making $20 an hour. And the reason behind any domestic violence is that I was dealing with mental health care, and I didn't know how to deal with mental health care, and I still didn't know that I had a mental health problem until August 2022.”

He seems resigned to a prison sentence as he tells her, “But if it's right for you, then you gotta do what you gotta do.”

On Wednesday in court he was heard repeatedly punching Holthus and shouting at her in explicit language as security officers tried to restrain the crazed criminal.

Judge Holthus can be heard pleading with the criminal, begging him to get rid of her.

Redden was ironically convicted of aggravated battery causing significant bodily harm just before he launched his attack.

Judge Holthus suffered injuries as a result of the assault and her condition is being monitored.

The marshal was also injured and had to be taken to hospital after the brutal attack.

“We commend the heroic actions of its personnel, law enforcement and all others who subdued the defendant,” the Las Vegas District Court said in a statement to Channel 13.

“The court remains committed to providing a safe courthouse and courtrooms.

“We are reviewing all our protocols and will do whatever is necessary to protect the judiciary, the public and our employees.”

Redden's criminal history includes charges in both Nevada and Texas.

The 30-year-old has been charged with assault, theft, assault, property damage and coercion, records show.

A judge had previously required Redden to undergo a competency determination, but he was ultimately found competent in October.
