A John Doe is being held in the Marion County Jail after he refused to give deputies his name or to be fingerprinted Monday.

The man reported to the Marion County Courthouse to enter a special appearance to represent Shawn Mitchell in a criminal case.

However, John Doe reportedly is not a lawyer and the court repeatedly admonished him that he would not be allowed to represent Mitchell or any other defendant without a license to practice law.

Doe was repeatedly ordered to leave the court room but he repeatedly refused and continued to interrupt proceedings.

Judge Michael McHaney found John Doe in direct criminal contempt of court and sentenced him to the Marion County Jail until 4 p.m. Monday.

After the court was informed that John Doe was refusing to give law enforcement his name and refusing to be fingerprinted, the contempt sentence was amended and he is ordered to remain in the Marion County Jail until he allows himself to be fingerprinted and provides his real name to law enforcement.
