CHAD JOHNSON GETS 30 DAYS IN JAIL FOR SLAPPING HIS LAWYER ON THE ASS IN COURT

CHAD JOHNSON

A simple slap on the behind is commonplace on the football field, but not in the courtroom.
It’s a lesson that will cost Chad Johnson 30 days in jail. The controversial receiver had accepted a plea deal for violating his probation – stemming from his domestic battery charge. It would have extended his probation until Dec. 21.

"You better thank your lawyer. He did a great job for you," Broward Circuit Court Judge Kathleen McHugh told the controversial receiver after he accepted the plea deal, according to local10news.com.

Johnson agreed and celebrated by slapping his attorney, Adam Sickle, on the butt. The courtroom erupted in laughter, but McHugh took it as a sign that Johnson was not taking the case seriously, rejected the plea deal and sentenced him to 30 days in prison.

"I had no intent to make this a joke, because my life is in shambles right now," Johnson replied according to TMZ.

The former Bengals receiver and his lawyer returned to the courtroom to try and convince her to change her mind and accept the plea deal.

On May 30, Johnson's ex Evelyn Lozada attended the West Bloomfield High School prom in Bloomfield, Mich. after a local high school student invited her as his date.

Lozada wrote on her blog, "OMG! Can I say “THE BEST TIME EVER?!?!”
