In Miami, 18-year-old Penelope Soto, who had been arrested on a possession of narcotics charge, was attending a bail hearing. During the hearing, she was smiling, laughing, playing with her hair and just acting like the whole thing was a joke, which of course angered the judge. First the judge set her bail at $5,000, that she laughed at, so he called her back and upped it to $10,000. That got her attention but instead of just accepting it and walking away, she says "F*** you" and flips off the judge. Well, the judge then declares her in contempt of court and sentences her to 30 days in jail. She finally just agrees and walks away. The best part is that after she serves her 30 days, she still has to pay the $10,000 to get out!
What is with the youth these days? I mean really. You've been arrested, you're in jail, you're going to your BAIL hearing (you know the hearing that determines how much you need to pay to get out of jail) and you're going to act disrespectful to the guy that determines the amount. Yeah, that's smart.
Not only would she probably not had any jail time had she kept her mouth and smile shut, someone would have probably paid the $5,000 to get her out. Now, she has to spend 30 days in the slammer along with paying $10,000 for her freedom. She'll probably even be given more jail time too.
She's one of those kids that needs to be on Beyond Scared Straight because she already acts like some of the kids on that show. 30 days in jail will probably be somewhat of a reality check for her though. She's 18, a legal adult, she's not going to juvenile hall...she's going to be with the murderers, prostitutes, and drug dealers. Good luck with that hunny. Next time, shut your mouth.
