New charges in feces-slinging court appearance

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.

n 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.
