A dramatic story of revenge? In the United States, a man was arrested on Saturday, suspected of hitting a police assistant in Ohio on Friday, the Associated Press and CNN agency reported this Sunday, May 4, citing the Local Police. According to the investigators, the suspect’s son was killed by the police one day before.
On Friday, an assistant at the Sheriff of the city of Cincinnati, then responsible for regulating car traffic, was overthrown by a car near the city University. Transported to the hospital, he died of his wounds. The victim, whose identity has not been revealed, was a recently retired man, but who was still working promptly. The driver identifies as Rodney Hinton JR, 38.
At night, the police link this drama and another occurrence the day before. In fact, the suspect is the father of an 18 -year -old fast, named Ryan Hinton, killed on Thursday, May 1 by the Cincinnati Police. Information confirmed to the press by the head of the local police Teresa Theetge.
A “calculated” collision, according to witnesses
Prosecutor Ryan Nelson said Saturday morning that the driver of the vehicle probably acted “calculated and premeditated” when he overthrew the Sheriff assistant on Friday. Prosecutors requested an accusation of the suspect for “aggravated murder.”
According to witnesses, the driver would have “aligned” his car, before “deliberately accelerating” and “intentionally causing” the death of the police member.
Ohio Mike Dewine governor said he was “disgusted by what seems to be an act of intentional violence,” according to a statement made in a press release.
Rodney Hinton JR appeared on Saturday before the courts and a judge ordered his placement in prior detention to trial before a new hearing scheduled for Tuesday, May 6. His lawyer presented to the court the absence of his client’s criminal record.
The adolescent attacked by a persecution
Ryan Hinton was attacked several times by ball on Thursday during a chase and did not survive. The police officer who shot told investigators that the suspect was fleeing with a stolen car, with three other people, and that he had indicated a firearm in his direction.
According to the images captured by the police, we can listen to an officer declaring “has a weapon”, during the attempt to arrest. Then, several shots were tested, while the teenager is running.
However, the images remain blurred and do not clearly show Ryan pointing a weapon to the police. Nothing indicates that he arrived at the police, according to the head of the Cincinnati police, who specifies that a gun provided with a charger was well found, but was not used.
The father very affected by police images
According to one of Rodney Hinton Jr’s lawyers, the 38 -year -old American was summoned to the police station on Friday, as well as several family members, the day after his son’s death.
Ryan’s father later saw the video captured by the police officer of the police officer and saw the moment in which his son was shot.
Very affected by the images, Rodney Hinton JR remained speechless and could not see the video until the end, according to his lawyer. “I was upset,” said Michael Wright. The Sheriff’s assistant was overthrown by car a few hours later.
In a press release, Rodney Hinton Jr and Ryan’s family transmitted their condolences to the relatives of the deceased police. He was not paid to his colleagues on Friday night. An investigation is being carried out to determine the circumstances of the young man’s death.
