Laughing in court gets Fayetteville man into more trouble


A staff report

 

A Cumberland County judge didn't find it funny when a man kept laughing in her courtroom Friday. 

Judge Toni King asked Johnny Montgomery, 47, what was so amusing. 

According to the Sheriff's Office, Montgomery told her, "It's none of your business." 

King ordered him removed from her District Courtroom. As deputies searched Montgomery, they found more than 3 grams of crack cocaine on him, Sheriff's Office said.

Montgomery originally was in court on misdemeanor charges of communicating threats and trespassing. Now he is charged with felony possession of cocaine. 

Montgomery, who lives on the 800 block of Dwain Drive, was taken to jail where his bail was set at $1,500.
