A man with open warrants stretching back three years was finally taken into custody Saturday afternoon—and the list of charges reads less like a police report and more like a criminal checklist.
Just after 3:30 p.m. Saturday, officers booked Shane McGlone into the Scioto County Jail on a staggering number of 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
Police say McGlone is scheduled to appear in Portsmouth Municipal Court for a preliminary hearing on January 15 at 9:30 a.m.
Not His First Rodeo—and Not Even Close
Court records show this arrest is anything but McGlone’s first run-in with the justice system. In fact, authorities say active warrants for his arrest had been outstanding for three years before he was finally caught.
His past charges span years and cover nearly every category of crime, including:
- Having a concealed weapon
- Having a firearm in a motor vehicle
- Receiving stolen property
- Criminal trespass (multiple counts)
- Manufacturing drugs
- Breaking and entering (multiple counts)
- Possession of criminal tools
- Driving under a suspended license (again and again)
- Aggravated arson
- Child endangerment
- Domestic violence
- Falsification
So How Does Someone Like This Stay Free for Years?
With a record this long, many residents are asking the obvious question:
How does someone rack up this many charges—and still remain on the street for years with open warrants?
That question will now shift to the courtroom, where prosecutors will have to untangle a case file thick with allegations and history.
