Farmington – A northwest New Mexico man will be sitting in jail for the next six months after telling a judge what he thinks of her in some rather unflattering terms.
The Farmington Daily Times (http://bit.ly/sHwO3R ) reports Milo Bitsuie was sentenced to 180 days after he cursed at Magistrate Judge Carla Vescovi-Dial.
Bitsuie was already in jail and was appearing in court for two preliminary hearings. Court records show he faces two counts of fourth-degree felony battery on a peace officer for two separate incidents that occurred Dec. 13 and 16.
Bitsuie's attorney Russell Frost says Thursday's incident is probably an indication there is something more going on with him and further evaluation may reveal an explanation.
Frost raised the issue of competency after a second outburst. Vescovi-Dial continued both battery cases pending the outcome of a competency hearing.
