A homeless man who shouted at a prosecutor last week to shut up despite the fact he was agreeing to his release and who repeatedly called the judge “Mom” is back behind bars.

Abdusalam Zakaria, 51, of no fixed address, appeared in Fredericton provincial court in custody Feb. 1.

He’d been arrested and held on two charges: assaulting William Morrison on Jan. 30 and causing a disturbance at Dollarama on Prospect Street by yelling Jan. 31.
