Judge Kiyo Matsumoto jailed Martin Shkreli over his Facebook (FB) - Get Report post about Hillary Clinton's hair on Wednesday, Sept. 13.

The judge said that Shkreli posed a danger to the public and revoked his $5 million bond.

Last week, the "pharma bro" encouraged his Facebook followers to snatch a sample of the former first lady's hair while she was on her book tour, offering to pony up $5,000 for each sample.

Earlier this week, U.S. prosecutors called for Matsumoto to lock the 34-year-old up as a danger to the community, citing the call for Clinton's locks as well as his online taunts of Teen Vogue editor Lauren Duca. The prosecutors were alerted to the post about Clinton by the Secret Service, which is charged with the protection of members of former first families.
