PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A man who repeatedly interrupted a Portland judge had a dozen counts of contempt of court add four months to his prison sentence.

The 25-year-old William Kinney told Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Leslie Roberts Friday that he answers only to God and not to the laws of Oregon.

The judge sentenced him to more than five years in prison for driving with a revoked license and possessing cocaine.

The Oregonian reports Kinney continued to drive after having his license revoked for a 2002 crash that killed a man.
