Commotion breaks out during hearing for man charged with hitting, killing deputy
Emotions ran high in the gallery during a no bond hearing for the man accused of hitting and killing a Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy last week.
Rodney Hinton Jr. appeared in court Tuesday on an aggravated murder charge in the death of retired sheriff's deputy Larry Henderson.
The gallery was packed during the hearing with family members and law enforcement officers.
At one point, a commotion started to break out in the gallery, a matter of seconds after Hinton Jr. entered the courtroom, when someone claiming to be his brother tried to get Hinton Jr.'s attention.
The commotion briefly stopped the hearing as Hinton Jr., was escorted out and back in.
It was a special hearing 바카라 게임 웹사이트 and required evidence to be presented.
The prosecution called a Cincinnati Police detective who said Hinton Jr. had been at the police station Friday to meet with the chief and see the body cam of police from the day before.
That body cam showed officers shooting Hinton Jr.'s son 바카라 게임 웹사이트 Ryan Hinton - to death. It came as they stopped a stolen car.
After seeing that video 바카라 게임 웹사이트 the detective said Hinton Jr. was emotional and family didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t want him driving.
The detective said he didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t, but that he came back later and got his car, then headed to the area of near the University of Cincinnati's campus where deputy Larry Henderson was directing traffic for the UC graduation.
The detective said he picked out the first officer he could find and accelerated toward him.
"Through the intersection, directly at where deputy Henderson was standing, struck deputy Henderson and the metal utility pole on the north east corner,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Detective Carl Beebe said.
Prosecutor: 바카라 게임 웹사이트Were there any evidence of skid marks?바카라 게임 웹사이트
Beebe: 바카라 게임 웹사이트No. there were no indications he tried to brake, stop or otherwise avoid deputy Henderson."
Judge Tyrone Yates then heard testimony as well as arguments from the state and defense as to no bond in Hinton Jr.'s case.
Both the state and defense presented arguments as to bond. The state argued there's no adequate forms of release and said Hinton is a "giant mental health question mark," saying he presents a risk to law enforcement officers and the public.
Hinton Jr.'s attorney Clyde Bennett entered a not guilty plea on Hinton Jr.'s behalf, saying the conduct in question is "classic...classic mental illness," continuing that not being in right frame mind can make you think you're doing something right, when it is actually very wrong. Bennett said he will be seeking a competency hearing.
A grand jury date was set for May 12.
