A Clark County Superior Court judge was injured Thursday afternoon when he stepped in to stop a defendant from allegedly attempting to assault a deputy prosecutor.

Roberto Diaz-Lara, 49, of Vancouver was on trial in Superior Court for three charges of first-degree child molestation – domestic violence in Judge Daniel Stahnke’s courtroom.

The trial wrapped up shortly before noon. The jury found Diaz-Lara guilty on all charges, Deputy Prosecutor Colin Hayes said.

According to video footage from the courtroom, once the jury was excused, Diaz-Lara abruptly left the defense table and attempted to strike Hayes. Diaz-Lara is seen in the video pointing at Hayes and yelling a profanity.

A Clark County deputy who was in the courtroom intervened and a struggle ensued, according to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office. Stahnke also tried to intervene in the physical altercation and sustained injuries, the sheriff’s office said.
