During that Saturday hearing, Hummel asked Varnado why she had hired security. Then, she says he stood up, opened his robe, pulled his gun out of the holster on his hip and held it in his right hand.
“I promise you, I’ll take care of them,” Hummel said, according to a court transcript. “We were never told these folks were security until most recently. …
“I got this man (referring to one of the security team members) here carrying a man purse, which I make fun of him every damn day for wearing such a sissy-ass contraption. And I hear he has blood coagulant. I have blood coagulant up here too, and I’ve got lots of guns. Like, bigger ones too.”
That’s when Hummel pulled out the gun.
“As Judge Hummel reached for his firearm, he said, ‘Aren’t me and my guns and security enough?’ Varnado’s affidavit states. “’My guns are bigger than your security’s guns!’ He pointed the barrel of the gun – first, at the table where defendants’ counsel, David Dehoney and Jennifer Hicks, were seated, and then, at the podium where I was standing.
“Judge Hummel then set his gun down on the judicial bench and deliberately rotated the firearm (as it laid on the bench) until the barrel of the gun was pointing directly at me.”
