A Red Deer man who caused a courtroom ruckus a week ago has received more probation.
Mark Bough, 39, was sentenced to 12 months of probation on Tuesday after pleading guilty to an assault that occurred on May 17.
He was arrested on May 17 at the Red Deer courthouse after causing problems after pleading guilty to common assault involving his wife.
He had pleaded guilty to common assault after trying to shoot his wife with an airsoft pellet gun while she was cooking dinner on April 3. He received a conditional discharge with one year of probation for that assault.
Court was adjourned briefly after sentence was passed. Bough stepped out of the courtroom and then returned to retrieve belongings from the row of seats immediately behind the row in which his wife was still seated.
He began shouting and swearing after having words with a sheriff who was blocking access to her and another sheriff who was warning him to back away.
A struggle broke out, with three more sheriffs called in from other areas of the courthouse to help subdue him.
