Prosecutors introduced the unloaded pistol into evidence Tuesday and placed it in a box near the judge's bench. Flenaugh approached the box during a break when she, a clerk and a prosecutor were the only people in the courtroom.
She took the gun, walked outside and hid it in the snow, prosecutors said. The weapon was discovered missing and the police were alerted. Flenaugh was arrested when she reentered the courthouse.
