Video: Chad Johnson gets 30 days in jail after butt slap

Chad Johnson busted out another of his token celebrations on Monday, but this time he hadn't quite reached the end zone. It resulted in a fumble on the one-yard line, sending Johnson to jail instead of back home. 

After pleading no contest to head-butting his ex-wife, Johnson got good news from Broward Circuit Court Judge Kathleen McHugh. The court was accepting a plea deal that included community service and counseling in lieu of time behind bars. 

But as McHugh was praising Johnson's attorney, Adam Swickle, the wide receiver formerly known as Ocho Cinco brought the courtroom to laughter by giving Swickle a tap on the behind to relay his appreciation.

McHugh didn't appreciate it and pulled a 180. Here's video from TMZ:

That's rough. We'll see Ocho in a month, but don't expect him to be taking any NFL fields at that point.
