A man who appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court to answer breaches of the Main Road Act was ordered to receive psychiatric evaluation by Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey before his matter was even mentioned.

Ricardo Richards, who found his appearance in court quite amusing, could not contain his laughing. He was asked to be quiet on several occasions by police officers and Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey alike. But instead, he continued his disturbance nevertheless.

Richards further delayed his case when he was removed from the holding area and placed in the dock for his matter to be heard as he continued his laughter. "My name is Richards Ricardo and not Ricardo Richards," he said, which caused some persons to laugh.

Richards also attempted to jump from the dock. He was eventually removed from court.

The accused man was arrested after it is alleged that he blocked a road in the Corporate Area.
