An Auxier man who allegedly yelled profanities and insults at a judge in a court hearing last fall has been indicted for that incident.
Jonathan Howell was arrested in August for allegedly threatening a postal worker and then further threatening that postal worker as a witness when Howell went to court.
At a series of hearings in September Howell allegedly went on extended rants that resulted in contempt charges.
Mountain Top News reports a grand jury has now indicted him for a federal charge related to threatening the judge, and for being an alleged persistent felony offender.
Howell is being held in the Floyd County jail.
