A man who weighs 900 pounds may have to be cut out of his Virginia trailer home so he can attend a court hearing to face cocaine conspiracy charges.

Kenneth T. Hicks, 48, is scheduled to plead guilty in U.S. District Court in Richmond on Monday to charges stemming from a cocaine conspiracy case involving seven people.

U.S. Magistrate Judge David Novak last week approved an unusual transportation plan to ensure Hicks could get to the court for his hearing given he is confined to a bed and is unable to dress himself.

The plan to get him to the court may involve cutting through a wall of the mobile home where he lives, bracing the structure and cutting down some trees to make room for a device that could hold his weight.

That will take place if authorities determine that Hicks, given his current weight, cannot be placed onto a gurney and wheeled down a ramp outside his home.

The judge approved the plan after Hicks had asked for help getting to the hearing in a way that protects his health, safety and dignity.

The hearing will take place in the loading dock at the rear of the court.

Hicks also asked that the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, first responders and others involved in the elaborate plan assess any medical issues he may have.
