MELISSA HARDWICK ATTACKS FAMILY COURT JUDGE

CLASSY

ATTACK

IT PROBABLY wasn't the best way to make a good impression on the family court judge. 
Melissa Hardwick continually interrupted proceedings as her ex-husband explained why he'd filed a domestic violence complaint against her.
So Judge Jennifer Edwards warned her that she would be held in contempt if she carried on talking. 
But that didn't seem to make a blind bit of difference to angry Melissa, who just carried on chit chatting. 
Making good on her threat the judge promptly handed her a ten day sentence. 
But if she was any doubt that Hardwick had violent tendencies beforehand, they would have been quickly dispelled, when threw herself at the judge, lunging in, fists first.
Court security officer Adam Dodson, who helped to restrain the woman, said he had only seen such an incident occur in training.
He told WLEX: "I've worked there for three-and-a-half-years and this was the first time anything that serious had happened."
Hardwick was then sentenced 120 days in jail for contempt of court for the incident. 
And now she faces separate charges of third-degree terroristic threatening, intimidating a participant in the legal process and resisting arrest. 
Her bond is set at $25,000. 
Judge Edwards ruled after the incident that the domestic violence order filed by Hardwick's husband would remain. 

DID DANIELLE BLANKENSHIP'S HEROIN SMOKE KILL CAT?

CAT KILLER?

A TWISTED junkie blew smack smoke at her neighbor's cat, killing it with the fumes from the powerful drug, cops say. Officer's spotted the motionless animal named Muffin, when they were called to a domestic violence call at 21-year-old Danielle Blankenship's, Boulder, CO home.    Officer Gregory Perry wrote: "The cat appeared to be unresponsive, and the cat did not move when the officer touched it.
"It could not seem to get up." 
Blankenship denied hitting Muffin, claiming she would never hurt an animal, but her boyfriend told cops she had been blowing heroin smoke into the cat's face. Animal control officers rushed the cat to the vet, where after briefly rallying, she passed away.
Boulder Police Spokeswoman Kim Kobel told KDVR: “They thought it was going to make it, but then it crashed soon after that and it died about 6:30 last night.”
She added: "This is an unusual case, if it actually is indeed a drug poisoning like this, a heroin poisoning."
Blankenship could felony charges depending on the results of a necropsy on the cat that will be performed Thursday or Friday.   
She is also charged with third degree assault and domestic violence after her boyfriend reported that she hit him in the face because he refused to allow her to use the phone.  
She is currently being held in the Boulder County Jail on $1,500 bond.
