A Florida circuit court judge was forced out of her family home at gunpoint after a police mix-up over a burglary.

Judge Ilona Holmes, one of the only black justices in Broward County, was holding a handgun when she came out of the Deerfield Beach house that was surrounded by gun-toting deputies.

It was only after she had placed the pistol on the front lawn that one of the officers recognised her and realised there had been a misunderstanding.
