Ms. Penson then brought the damaged cellphone back inside the courthouse, according to reports. Penson has said that the cell phone belonged to her and was not public property, but admitted that hitting the phone with a hammer at the courthouse was “probably not the right place” to do it. No criminal charges have been filed in connection with the incident. The Floyd County Fire Marshall’s office was contacted about the incident because of “possible toxic exposure” from the damaged cellphone, but to date has not opened an investigation.
