A Portsmouth man already facing a long list of charges now faces even more after the Scioto County Grand Jury handed down new indictments during its latest session.
Shane McGlone, 46, of Portsmouth, was indicted on multiple felony charges, including:
- Felonious assault
- Aggravated trafficking in drugs
- Aggravated possession of drugs
- Trafficking in a fentanyl-related compound
- Possession of a fentanyl-related compound
- Having weapons while under disability (2 counts)
- Failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer
- Resisting arrest
A Chase That Ended in a Crash
As SCDN previously reported, McGlone’s arrest two months ago followed a dangerous encounter with law enforcement.
Investigators say officers attempted to stop McGlone on Lick Run Lyra Road, but he allegedly refused to pull over and instead sped away, sparking a short but reckless pursuit.
According to investigators, during the chase McGlone:
- Fled from officers attempting to stop him
- Allegedly tried to run officers off the road
- Lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a tree
Only after the crash were officers able to take him into custody.
He was booked into the Scioto County Jail shortly after 3:30 p.m. that Saturday.
A Long List of Charges
At the time of his arrest, McGlone was already facing numerous charges, including:
- Failure to comply
- Breaking and entering
- Illegal manufacture of drugs
- Failure to appear
- Aggravated burglary
- Assault
- Criminal damaging
- Possession of drugs
- Having weapons while under disability
- Resisting arrest
- Driving under suspension
Three Years on the Run
Authorities say McGlone had been the subject of active warrants for nearly three years before officers finally caught up with him.
Court records show a lengthy criminal history that includes prior cases involving weapons offenses, drug manufacturing, receiving stolen property, aggravated arson, domestic violence, child endangerment, falsification, and repeated driving under suspension.
What Happens Next
McGlone is scheduled to appear in Scioto County Common Pleas Court for a pretrial hearing on March 19.
As always, all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
SCDN will continue following developments in the case.
