Judge revokes bond for man accused of killing Cleveland police officer

CLEVELAND (WJW) — Wednesday morning, a judge revoked a $10 million bond previously set for the man accused of killing Cleveland police officer Jamieson Ritter .

Judge Ashley Kilbane’s ruling to hold Delawnte Hardy, 23, without bond came at the recommendation of prosecutors and without objection from defense attorneys.

On Tuesday, the FOX 8 I-Team reported the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office had filed a motion making the request.

The motion read, in part, “The State of Ohio submits that there are no conditions upon which the defendant can be released wherein the public will be safe… Simply put, police officers should be kept safe from individuals who are known to shoot them to evade capture. Because this defendant has killed to avoid justice once, that fact must be recognized and acknowledged, and he must be held without bail until his trial.”

Investigators have said Hardy fired four shots as police tried to arrest him for shooting his grandmother.

Hardy has been indicted for shooting and killing both his grandmother and Officer Ritter.
