A woman is in jail after struggling with a bailiff and confronting a judge while claiming Jesus Christ is her attorney.

An allegation of probation violation brought Shannon Hamblin to the Whitley County courtroom Monday, but she did not want an attorney.

"Jesus is going to represent me," Hamblin told the judge.

The allegations were that Hamblin violated a recent drug test and did not report on February 8.

"Yes or no, do you acknowledge that?” asked the judge.

“I acknowledge that I'm saved by the blood. I don't do drugs your honor," replied Hamblin.

The nearly 10 minute hearing of various arguments ended with the judge asking for Hamblin to be removed and three bailiffs nearly dragging her out.

The sheriff tells WYMT one bailiff suffered a hand injury in the scuffle.

"She kicked him when they tried to handcuff her," said Whitley County Sheriff Colan Harrell.

The sheriff says this is the fourth time one of his court deputies has been hurt in the courthouse.

"That is why we have the amount of security we have in the courtroom," Harrell explained.

Hamblin and the bailiff were taken to the hospital. Hamblin then went to jail where she is facing resisting arrest, assault, public intoxication and other charges.

WYMT called the jail to see if Hamblin wanted to talk to us, but she declined.
