Attorney Charles A. Dunlop found himself in legal trouble following a Zoom court hearing related to a divorce case in McHenry County, Illinois. During the session, Dunlop expressed frustration when a motion did not proceed as he had hoped, reportedly saying, "f*ck . . . f*ck you" directed at the judge.
In response to this outburst, the presiding judge instructed Dunlop to appear in person immediately. Upon his appearance, Dunlop claimed that his remarks were intended for his employee rather than the judge. Despite this explanation, the judge held him in contempt of court and sentenced him to 24 hours in McHenry County Jail.
Dunlop was taken into custody at 9:15 a.m., and according to the McHenry County Sheriff's inmate search records, he is expected to be released on June 22, 2024.
