LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The man who attacked a Las Vegas judge during a sentencing hearing last month has been formally indicted for attempted murder.
A grand jury returned an indictment Thursday for nine counts against Deobra Redden. His arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 29.
Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus was about to deliver Redden's sentence in an attempted battery case on Jan. 3 when he lunged over the bench at Holthus.

Courtroom cameras recorded as Holthus's clerk and a court marshal fought with Redden to restrain him.
The indictment alleges that Redden attacked Holthus "by grabbing her, pulling her hair, placing his hands around her throat and/or hitting her on the head by manner and means unknown."
He's also charged with "punching and/or kicking and/or pushing" a Las Vegas police officer.
Holthus ultimately sentenced Redden to 19 to 48 months for the attempted battery charge in another hearing held a few days after the attack.
