St. Joseph County, Michigan, U.S.: A man got а judge infuriated when he entered a video cal with the name ‘Buttf***er 3000’.
The man was being charged for a drug-related crime as he appeared before Judge Jeffrey Middleton.
The awkward moment was recorded and shared on YouTube recently, with the man identifying himself as Nathaniel Saxton.
In the clip, Judge Middleton says:
“Your name’s not ‘Buttf***er 3000’, you yo-ho, logging in to my court with that as your screenname.
What kind of idiot logs into court like that?”
After saying that the name-altering was not his doing, Saxton made an apology and was kicked out of the call for a short time.

When he was allowed back on, he told the court it had all been a prank done by his sister.
Having fixed the name, he then went on to say:
“I’m embarrassed. I’m sorry.”
There just *has* to be some Congressional intern who is enough of a chaos agent to swap a Senator's name plate out for one that says "Buttfucker 3000" before a hearing.

Saxton was being charged with one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Reports say this can be punishable by up to 90 days behind bars and a $500 fine.
At first, Saxton had pleaded not guilty to the charge, but as the items were found in his possession – including a used meth-positive syringe – and the judge offered a lesser fine, he eventually pleaded guilty, according to reports.
He was fined $200 for his crime.
During the hearing, the judge asked:
“Is your sister there?”
“No, unfortunately, she is not,” Saxton said.
“Tell her she almost got you put in jail for contempt of court,” the judge said.
Saxton then made another apology.
