Man Leads Kenova Police On Chase

{Kenova, West Virginia}...A Kenova Police officer spotted a truck which had been reported stolen out of Proctorville, Ohio on Interstate 64 around 12:00 P.M. Sunday. The officer attempted to stop the truck, but the driver, 29 year old John McGlone of Chesapeake, Ohio fled heading eastbound, leading officers on a chase with speeds reaching 100 miles per hour before it ended in Huntington. Officers placed spike strips on the interstate near the 14-mile marker, but McGlone swerved at the officers to avoid the spikes. Four vehicles, including a Kenova Police car, hit the spikes resulting in flat tires. McGlone got out of the vehicle and fled into the woods where he was caught and arrested after a short struggle. He is facing several charges in Cabell County, including four counts of attempted murder on a police officer, fleeing in a vehicle, fleeing on foot  and transferring and receiving stolen property. He will also face charges in Kenova and Proctorville.
