<p>Miami-Dade Judge Mindy Glazer recognized Arthur Booth after he was arrested for burglary charges and appeared before her in bond court last summer.</p>
<p>“Did you go to Nautilus for middle school?” the judge asks, leading her former schoolmate, now 49, to burst into tears.</p>
<p>“This was the nicest kid in middle school, he was the best kid in middle school. I used to play football with him, all the kids, and look what has happened,” she said, according to NBC Miami.</p>

<p>Video of the encounter went viral, and Booth spent 10 months in jail before a guilty plea for burglary and grand theft led to his release into a drug treatment program on Tuesday.<br />
He hugged his family after coming out of court before embracing Glazer, who was waiting for him and encouraged him to stay on the right side of the law.</p>

“Cause I know where I could’ve been, but I’m not giving up on life.”</p>
