A courthouse in upstate New York was closed for fumigation Tuesday after hundreds of cockroaches were released during an alterca- tion that broke out at an arraign- ment, according to court officials.
The clash broke out during pro- ceedings in Albany City Court for four people for an arrest at the state Capitol. A defendant who started to film the courtroom pro- ceedings was told to stop. In the altercation that followed,
hundreds of cockroaches brought into the courthouse in plastic containers were released, according to the state court sys- tem.
The bug release was being inves- tigated while the courthouse was closed for the rest of the day for fumigation.
Court officers arrested a 34- year-old woman in the audience for charges relat- ed to the alterca- tion, including disorderly con- duct, obstructing governmental
administration and tampering with physical evi- dence.
She was released, and it was not immedi- ately clear whether she had an attorney to speak on her behalf.
“What transpired is not advocacy or activism, it is criminal behavior with the intent to disrupt a pro- ceeding and cause damage,” read a statement from the Office of Court Administration.
