The man accused of hitting and killing a Hamilton County deputy with his car as retaliation for the deadly police shooting of his son has entered a not guilty plea on new charges announced in an indictment by prosecutors last week.
Rodney Hinton Jr., who authorities say intentionally hit and killed an Ohio sheriff’s deputy with a car after his son was fatally shot by police, will remain in jail without bond while he awaits trial on a murder charge.
Prosecutors say Hinton drove his car into the deputy after he watched video of police shooting his son during a stolen car investigation.
