While 49-year-old Booth was attending his court hearing for an alleged burglary, where police reportedly chased him for his crime, Judge Glazer asks, “Did you go to Nautilus for middle school?”

Realizing Glazer’s identity, Booth exclaims, “Oh my goodness!”

Moments later, Booth breaks down in tears, with Judge Glazer saying, “I always wondered what happened to you, sir. You were the nicest kid in middle school.”

Speaking to the courtroom, Judge Glazer continues, “He was the nicest kid in middle school. I used to play football with him.”

Re-addressing Booth, who at this point is sobbing uncontrollably, she says, “Mr. Booth, I hope you are able to change your ways….

“Good luck to you, sir. I hope you are able to come out of this OK and just lead a lawful life.”

Judge Glazer set Booth’s bond to $43,000.
