Dwayne Scott Blevins, 48, was charged with misdemeanor contempt of family court, and was sentenced to ten days in the Western Regional Jail by Judge Alfred Ferguson.
Reports indicate the elder Blevins remained in the courtroom following his son's trial Thursday. Dwayne Blevins was asked to leave the room as courthouse personnel attempted to prepare the room for family court, which is private.
His response was a remark that included several curse words.
