The Commercial Appeal reports Brown was released from the Shelby County Jail Tuesday morning. Brown turned himself in last Thursday. Brown, a former Memphis judge, was charged with contempt after an outburst in Juvenile Court in March 2014. Magistrate Judge Harold Horne sentenced Brown to five days in jail following a verbal exchange in which Brown called the Juvenile Court a \"sorry operation\" and challenged Horne's authority. In a ruling issued Aug. 14, the Tennessee Supreme Court refused to allow Brown to appeal a Court of Appeals decision that had upheld the jail sentence.","author_name":"Latest Stories from The Associated Press","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/4277258-latest-stories-from-the-associated-press","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/33861969/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
