Man appears to twerk in front of a judge

MIAMI — A courtroom is not the best place to show of your dance moves, and a Florida man learned that the hard way.

WPLG-TV reports a car theft suspect decided to "twerk" in court Thursday causing laughter to erupt in the courtroom – except from the judge.

Judge Catherine Pooler kept a straight face and did not appear to be amused at the dance by Calvin Griffith, WPLG-TV reports.
