A Texas resident faces legal trouble after allegedly threatening a judge with violence during a truancy hearing, as reported by local authorities.

Law enforcement officials have charged 19-year-old Daisy Hernandez with making a terroristic threat against a public official.

The incident unfolded on a Thursday, according to arrest documents reviewed by Waco’s CBS and Telemundo affiliate KWTX.

This particular hearing took place at the Precinct 5 Justice of the Peace Court. During proceedings, Judge LucyAnn Sanchez-Miramontez inquired about the school attendance of Hernandez’s younger relatives.

As Hernandez’s mother began to respond, the judge’s attention shifted elsewhere, according to reports.

One of Hernandez’s brothers “caught the attention of the judge by smiling visibly and silently laughing,” an arrest affidavit reads. Then, the justice of the peace paused the hearing to address the disturbance – reportedly telling the boy to stop laughing or to leave.

That interjection allegedly did not go over well.

“(He) didn’t stop,” the affidavit reads. “Judge told the defendants that she will be taking care of this by sending their mother to jail for 6 days due to ignoring a court order for truancy. Daisy stated aloud to the Judge, ‘You can’t do that.’ Judge responded, ‘Yes I can.’”

Some time passed and the defendant allegedly went on “to yell” at the justice of the peace; Sanchez-Miramontez reportedly became so frustrated she broke her judge’s gavel trying to silence the growing furor by repeatedly pounding it down on her sound block.

Eventually, the irate judicial officer ordered deputies to remove the Hernandez family from the courtroom – which they did.

The defendant apparently took affront to the removal and as she was being escorted out, allegedly said: “I’m gonna shoot this b–.”

“Did she say that?” the by-now confounded justice of the peace said in response to the alleged threat.

Witnesses in the courtroom would go on to provide statements about the incident, according to the affidavit.

“When things calmed down, I asked Daisy why she told the judge she was gonna shoot her,” the affidavit, penned by a deputy constable, goes on. “Daisy stated, ‘I don’t know. I was mad.’”

As it turned out, the underlying incident was eventually settled.

On Friday, Sanchez-Miramontez said Hernandez’s mother was in court to address previous truancy allegations – but ultimately provided documentation her children had started going to school.

“I give families every opportunity and offer them every community resource to comply with court orders,” the judge said, according to KWTX.

The defendant was originally jailed on $5,000 bond, the TV station reported.

The charges against Hernandez do not currently appear on the McLennan County criminal court docket and the defendant is not currently listed as an inmate in the McLennan County Jail.
