'I don't play well' judge who threatened to track down, jail misbehaving litigant gets tossed from case
Briefly

Ruehlman made several jailing threats and warned litigant Ward of dire consequences if he violated court orders, emphasizing the severity: 'If you file anything and play around with this ruling, you're going to go to jail. I'll find you and track [you] down and put you in jail.'
Ruehlman's tough-guy persona was on display as he boasted about his reputation and past experiences: 'My dad was a boxer. I was a boxer. I got five surgeries, plastic surgeries, to prove that I was the guy nobody wanted to fool with and you don't want to fool with ... you don't fool with Judge Ruehlman.'
