SPRINGFIELD —
UPDATE @ 5:56 p.m. Ricky Hand now faces an additional charges in the feces-slinging incident.
The charges include five counts harassment with bodily substance — one for his attorney and four deputies; obstructing official business; and retaliation. He will be in Clark County Municipal Court on Thursday.
Hand had four water bottles concealed in his arm sling and pants that he admitted were full of his urine and feces.
In another development, an investigation has begun into the breakdown in Common Pleas Court that allowed Hand to sneak bodily fluid and substance into the room.
Hand should have been checked before being allowed before a judge, Sheriff Gene Kelly said.
EARLIER REPORT
A man who was being sentenced for a string of robberies across Springfield threw feces during his sentencing this morning.
Ricky Hand concealed the feces on his person and threw it after he was sentenced to 40 years in prison for his role in the robberies.
Hand faced 30 charges of breaking and entering, safe-cracking, aggravated robbery, abduction and attempted safe-cracking, in April, according to court records. He pleaded guilty to seven of the original charges in a Clark County Common Pleas courtroom earlier this month.
Hand previously served prison time.
On Oct. 2011, Hand pleaded guilty in a robbery case and was sentenced to four years in prison for the crime, according to Clark County court records.
He was out of prison and on parole for less than six months before his last crime spree started in January of this year.
In court Wednesday, Hand interrupted the judge before the outburst.
“Did you just give me 40 years, sir? You just gave me 40 years…. Well guess what?” Hand said and then reached for something in a sling he was wearing.
He pulled out the feces and threw it, hitting his defense lawyer. He was then tackled by deputies in the court, where he told them he had multiple bottles of the feces hidden on his body.
The sergeant in charge of court deputies said it was not protocol to pat down defendants as they are brought to court from the Clark County Jail, because they are coming straight from their jail cells. The sergeant said that will likely change after this outburst.
Prosecutors said they will review evidence from the courtroom and Hand could face more charges for the court disruption.
Hand is currently booked in the Clark County Jail awaiting his transfer to the Ohio Department of Corrections.
