Ohio man convicted in deputy’s death gets 18 months for jail assault
FOX19 said Rodney Hinton pleaded guilty Wednesday in Clermont County to three assault counts after a jail fight and was sentenced to 18 months; Hamilton County murder sentencing is set for Nov. 19.
Rodney Hinton pleaded guilty Wednesday in Clermont County, Ohio, to three counts of assault and was sentenced to 18 months after a fight with corrections officers at the Clermont County Jail, FOX19 reported1.
FOX19 said Hinton was being held there while awaiting trial in the death of Hamilton County Deputy Larry Henderson, who was struck and killed in May 20251.
The station said video it obtained showed the jail fight after an officer offered Hinton a towel, that Hinton then argued with officers and threw a punch and kicked while being handcuffed, and that court records showed one officer had minor injuries1.
FOX19 said Hinton is due back in Hamilton County court on Nov. 19 to be sentenced on murder, reckless homicide and felonious assault charges in Henderson’s death, and that prosecutors said they want him to serve 15 years to life1. Other outlets in the same assignment recapped the earlier murder verdict and were not independent accounts of Wednesday’s Clermont County plea.
