New details have emerged about the long-awaited arrest of Shane McGlone, and they explain why officers say the stop turned dangerous in seconds.
Authorities now confirm that when officers finally caught up with McGlone on Lick Run Lyra Road, he refused to stop and took off, kicking off a short but reckless chase.
From Wanted to Running
According to investigators, McGlone:
- Fled from officers when they attempted to stop him
- Tried to run officers off the road during the pursuit
- Lost control and struck a tree, ending the chase
Only after the crash were officers able to take him into custody.
He was then booked into the Scioto County Jail just after 3:30 p.m. Saturday, facing a jaw-dropping list of charges that already included failure to comply—now underscored by how the arrest actually unfolded.
The Full Charge List
McGlone is facing multiple serious charges, including:
- Failure to comply
- Felonious assault
- Breaking and entering
- Illegal manufacture of drugs
- Failure to appear
- Aggravated burglary
- Assault
- Criminal damaging
- Possession of drugs
- Having weapons while under a disability
- Resisting arrest
- Driving under a suspended license
He is scheduled to appear in Portsmouth Municipal Court for a preliminary hearing on January 15 at 9:30 a.m.
Three Years on the Run
As previously reported, McGlone’s arrest came after three years of active warrants, during which time he managed to stay out of custody despite a lengthy criminal history.
That history includes prior charges for:
- Concealed weapons
- Firearms in a motor vehicle
- Receiving stolen property
- Multiple counts of breaking and entering
- Drug manufacturing
- Criminal tools
- Repeated driving under suspension
- Aggravated arson
- Child endangerment
- Domestic violence
- Falsification
A Risky Ending to a Long Wait
The new details add a troubling layer to an already alarming case: not only was McGlone wanted for years, but when police finally closed in, he allegedly turned the arrest into a high-risk encounter that could have ended far worse.
Now, instead of running, McGlone will be answering to a judge—and prosecutors will be sorting through a case file that’s only gotten thicker with this latest update.
