    One day after his bond was revoked, we learned that the man charged with killing Cleveland Police Officer Jamieson Ritter and his own grandmother was involved in a jail altercation.

    According to Cuyahoga County, a jail guard opened De'Lawnte Hardy's cell Saturday night to let him take a shower.

    That's when Hardy ran out of his cell.

    Officials say guards quickly stopped him, and there was a brief struggle, and he was pepper-sprayed.

    Hardy was treated and returned to his cell.

    One guard was injured in the fight.

    No further information has been released.

    A pre-trial hearing was held on Wednesday morning. The state requested that Hardy's bond be revoked, which the defense and judge allowed.
