Share this @internewscast.com

A commotion erupted in an Ohio courtroom on Tuesday as Rodney Hinton Jr., charged with the murder of a Hamilton County sheriff’s deputy on May 2, a day following the fatal shooting of his son by Cincinnati police, attended a bond hearing.

Judge Tyrone Yates of Hamilton County ordered Hinton, facing charges of aggravated murder, to be held without bond pending his trial and requested that he receive mental health treatment while detained. 

Noises were heard from the courtroom gallery during the Tuesday morning session, although the cause of the disturbance is not clear. Fox News Digital has contacted the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office for further details.

Hinton Jr. is accused of fatally striking retired Hamilton County Deputy Larry Henderson, who was directing traffic near the University of Cincinnati during a Friday graduation ceremony, with a vehicle around 1 p.m., according to Cincinnati police.

“I seen in the video…two scared people: I seen the officer scared, and I seen my grandson scared. So, it’s an unfortunate incident that happened,” Hinton Sr. said. “I didn’t see the police there trying to kill, kill, kill. No. All I seen is two people who made a mistake.”

Henderson was a 33-year officer with the HCSO and served in multiple specialized units since 1991, including the dive team, HCPA SWAT, FBI Task Force Officer and the HCSO Bomb Unit.

“In Deputy Henderson’s early tenure as a Sheriff’s Deputy, I recognized his talent for teaching and presentation,” Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey said in a Sunday statement. “Larry began his journey as a Sheriff’s Office trainer early in his career. He developed an expertise and became an excellent trainer. Subsequently, he trained divisions of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office that included hundreds of deputy sheriffs. His ability to relate to and touch officers’ lives was extraordinary. We will continue to honor Larry’s life of service.”
