A vile thug who made shocking threats to kill probation officers who were trying to help him pulled his trousers down and showed his backside to a judge after being jailed.
Stephen McEvoy made repeated threats to slit and slice the throats of people who were being appointed to assist him on his release from prison, including sexual comments about a female probation officer.
As McEvoy was being sentenced at Newcastle Crown Court via a video-link to prison, he was muted after interrupting and calling the prosecutor a "sick ************" for outlining his disgusting behaviour. Then, after being locked up, he stuck his fingers up at the judge before turning round and pulling his trousers down, exposing his bottom.
