VIDEO: Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson Thrown In JAIL For SLAPPING HIS LAWYER’S BOOTY!

Former NFL star Chad Johnson was sentenced Monday to 30 days in jail for a probation violation in a domestic violence case by a judge who angrily rejected a no-jail plea deal after Johnson playfully slapped his attorney’s booty in court.

Johnson, known as Chad Ochocinco, had reached a deal with prosecutors calling for community service and counseling instead of jail. Broward County Circuit Judge Kathleen McHugh said she would tack on an additional three months’ probation because Johnson had failed to meet with his probation officer during three previous months.

It was all set until Johnson, when asked by McHugh if he was satisfied with his lawyer Adam Swickle, gave the attorney a light swat on the rear — as football players routinely do to each other on the field.

The courtroom erupted in a fit of giggled and the judge got PISSED! “I don’t know that you’re taking this whole thing seriously. I just saw you slap your attorney on the backside. Is there something funny about this?” the judge said, slapping the plea deal document down on her desk. “The whole courtroom was laughing. I’m not going to accept these plea negotiations. This isn’t a joke.”

Johnson, 35, tried to apologize and insisted he meant no disrespect.

“This is your courtroom. I have no intent to make this a joke. It’s not funny,” Johnson told the judge. “My life is in a shambles right now and I try my best to laugh and keep a smile on my face.”

But that didn’t help. Johnson then was handcuffed and hauled away to jail for 30 days.

Hours later, Johnson sent out a tweet on his verified Twitter account: “Love me through the good and the bad because I’m gone love you regardless … See you in 30.”

Moral of the story: NEVER slap your lawyer’s booty…
