We can all agree that it's no fun to receive a prison sentence. But 46-year-old Ohio resident Ricky Hand at least found a way to get the last word in. After getting 40 years for multiple armed robberies, he threw feces and urine through the courtroom, according to WWLP

"Did you just give me 40 years, sir? You just gave me 40 years. Well guess what?" Hand said to the judge before taking bottles full of poop and pee out of his arm sling and flinging the contents into the air. Court officials had to restrain him. 

How on Earth did he manage to sneak that in there, though?

Clark County Sheriff Gene Kelly told Complex that Hand was shot after his latest robbery and was fed the health drink Ensure in jail to help him recover. "He was drinking the Ensure and then putting his feces and urine in the bottles and putting the lids on and hoarding them," Kelly said. "He had concealed them on his person as he went to court for his sentencing."

Kelly added: "Deputies are under investigation for not following our procedures, and if they would've done that, this would've never happened. The deputies who failed to follow procedure are not going to find this very funny."

Hand had committed 30 robberies already and was on parole before the latest crime landed him in prison—and it looks like he may have just shot himself in the foot once again. Kelly said Hand's now facing additional charges over the courtroom incident. 

He may get a harsher sentence now, but at least he can say he got to taste the sweet taste of revenge... or the not-so-sweet smell of it, at least.
