A normal Judge would have had him charged with contempt of court. He would then have been cuffed and removed.
That's how it always happens.
As far as charging the deputy. Maybe, but then again he was following the orders of his superior. That's a little more murky.

They have way better tricks over here mate. Once I was handcuffed to a chair with a phone book placed on top of my head which they pounded on with their batons. Not fun, felt like I was being struck by lightning. But eventually I received a kleenex for my bleeding nose and was told to walk home at 3 am in winter with no coat. I was 15 at the time. Better than a full load of flock in the back though.

Wow, I'm glad I live in the UK, court here is not really scary at all.
Even back in the day the worst you could expect was a minor beating in a holding cell, but with all the CCTV these days that doesn't happen any more.
Saying that though, the judge was being recorded and didn't give a toss...yep, again, wow.
