🚨 NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE — OHIO MAN ASKS FOR MORE PRISON TIME… AND GETS IT Youngstown, Ohio — You really can’t make this stuff up. A judge with more than 30 years on the bench said he had never seen anything like it. But 27-year-old Kenneth Newton went ahead and made history in his courtroom. Newton was there to plead guilty to two fourth-degree felony counts of assault and one count of aggravated menacing after attacking two deputies inside the Mahoning County Jail. According to investigators— 👉 He bit both deputies while they were escorting him to an elevator So this wasn’t exactly a minor incident. As part of a plea agreement, Newton was set to receive: 👉 12 months in prison Pretty standard. But then— He did something no one expected. 👉 He asked the judge for more time 👉 Specifically, 18 months instead of 12 The judge paused… and even asked if this was some kind of April Fools joke. It wasn’t. Newton was serious. And in a move that probably left everyone in that courtroom shaking their heads— 👉 The judge granted the request Newton reportedly said he wanted the extra time so he could take advantage of vocational and counseling programs while in prison. So instead of trying to get out sooner… He asked to stay longer. And got his wish. Now here’s where it gets even more interesting— Newton had already been sentenced earlier this year in a separate case to: 👉 2 to 3 years in prison for felonious assault And this new sentence? 👉 Will run consecutively Meaning he just added even more time to what he was already facing. So while most people are trying to shave time off a sentence… This guy walked in and said, “Actually… I’ll take a little extra.” And the court said—okay. Only in Ohio… and apparently, only on April Fools. #OhioNews #BreakingNews #TrueCrime #CourtUpdate #MahoningCounty #OnlyInOhio #YouCantMakeThisUp Source: WBOY | WKBN | Court records
