This image is going to haunt Trumbull County Sheriff Tom Altiere and Deputy Phil Eckenrode for a long time. This is exactly what they don't want to have happen when they are providing security for defendants in court cases. Sheriff Tom Altiere: "We were a little short yesterday. We had one extra that could have been there but he wasn't. We had more deputies on the way at that time." But at the time members of a family of four who Jason Howard is accused of killing in a separate case charged the courtroom Eckenrode was the only deputy inside. He was screaming for help to get the defendant away from the attackers. So I pulled Howard back.
Deputy Phil Eckenrode: "My main concern was Jason Howard and what this person might do to Jason, I was trying to pull him off and secure him and put him under arrest at that point." Moments later numerous deputies ran into the courtroom and were finally able to subdue the attackers. Trumbull County Commissioner Paul Heltzel: "Yeah, obviously it would have been better to have more deputies to get that either to prevent it or to nip it in the bud so it didn't go as far as it did." And Judge Wyatt McKay recently issued an order demanding that at least four deputies be in the courtroom during the murder trial of Jermaine McKinney. Commissioners and Judges say they will meet in the next few days to discuss this week's fight and what can be done to prevent this from happening again.
