Oh, so he expected to be characterized as a bully did he?
Hey Judge: That's because you are a bully.
During the hearing on Thursday, Chief Judge Lisa Bell described an angry confrontation with Belk last February."He said I was a media hound and a political hack. This continued as we walked to the door. By the time we were in the doorframe, he stood within approximately 4-18 inches of my space and screamed at me to leave him the hell alone," Bell said.
Belk said he was trying to talk with Bell about his court assignments and he was frustrated because she wouldn't listen.
Bell says she was afraid for her safety.
"I was in my office, crying, shaking. I didn't know what to do," she said.
After the hearing adjourned, Belk said he expected to be characterized as a bully.
