BROWARD, Fla. — There was a bit of disorder in a South Florida court when an 80-year-old woman facing charges of resisting arrest and violating an injunction called a judge “sweetheart” and asked if he would take her out for breakfast Thursday.

Dolores Sheinis had Broward Judge John Hurley cracking up after he ordered her to wear a GPS ankle bracelet for violating an injunction to stay away from her ex-husband.

“I don’t particularly feel like keeping an 80-year-old woman in the jail who has no criminal record, but this is your second warning: Don’t go around him again,” Hurley said.

“I haven’t bothered him for 31 years, why would I bother him now?” Sheinis cracked. “I swear to God and all that’s holy on a stack of bibles, I will never go near him, talk to him, call him or even look at him.”
