Topless Heidi Montag (Maxim) Gets Judge All Hot and Really Bothered

A Rowan County District Court judge held a local attorney in contempt Wednesday for reading a men's magazine during a court session. Judge Kevin Eddinger found Salisbury attorney Todd Paris in contempt after he saw him reading a Maxim magazine with "a female topless model" on the cover. Eddinger fined Paris $300, gave him a 15 day suspended jail sentence that remains in effect for a year and placed him on unsupervised probation, according to the order. According to a police officer who was in Eddinger's courtroom Wednesday, Paris came in after the lunch break and sat down on the front bench behind the assistant district attorney's desk. Paris placed a stack of case paperwork on the bench beside him and started looking at the Maxim magazine even as Eddinger was hearing cases. According to one of the officers, Eddinger observed Paris for several minutes. Then he called Paris to come to the bench and bring the magazine. At some point, Paris read some of the captions under the pictures, which the officer described as explicit. Eddinger then showed the magazine from the bench, with the crowd erupting in laughter. Eddinger then sentenced Paris to 15 days in the Rowan County Detention Center, suspending it for one year of probation, and ordered him to pay a $300 fine and court costs.
