CLEVELAND — De'Lawnte Hardy, 24, appeared in court Monday morning for his arraignment.

Hardy is charged with the aggravated murders of his grandmother, Beatrice Porter, and Cleveland Police Officer Jamieson Ritter. 

Hardy entered a not guilty plea.

The state asked for bond to be set at $10 million.

"The state gives notice that it will be filing a motion to have him held without bond. Once we know who the trial judge is," said Kevin Filiatraut, assistant prosecuting attorney for the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office. "The reason for that is this, there are no circumstances under which, if this defendant is released to the public to safe."

Filatraut said on June 28, Hardy stole a gun from his grandmother, Beatrice Porter and shot her in the head. Porter remained on life support before succumbing to her injury.

On July 4, Cleveland Police were trying to arrest Hardy on a warrant for felonious assault as he fled on his grandfather's bike with two swords and a gun taken from his grandmother's house. Hardy fired four shots killing Cleveland Officer Jamieson Ritter.

"This defendent poses an immense risk to the public and should not be released," Filatraut said.

Hardy's next court date is set for July 24 at 9 a.m.
