POMEROY — David McDaniel, 28, of Langsville, recently entered a plea of guilty to nearly a dozen charges filed in Meigs County Common Pleas Court.

McDaniel faced 22 charges, including 19 counts from a March indictment.

In the plea agreement, McDaniel agreed to enter guilty pleas to one count of escape, one count of burglary, five counts of theft, two counts of receiving stolen property and two probation violations.

McDaniel was charged with seven counts of burglary, six counts of theft, two counts of grand theft, two counts of receiving stolen property, one count of grand theft of motor vehicle, and one count of grand theft of a firearm in the indictment.

The indictment alleged that McDaniel burglarized homes on Flatwoods Road (July 23, 2011), Texas Road (July 16 and 26, 2011), Beech Grove Road (July 23, 2011), Bailey Run Road (August 3, 2011), Side Hill Road (October 18-21, 2011), and Scout Camp Road (Jan. 2).

Grand theft is alleged on July 26, 2011, at a residence on Texas Road and on August 3, 2011, at a residence on Bailey Run Road. Both are third degree felonies.

Grand theft of a motor vehicle is charged in the theft of a automobile from Rocksprings Road on July 24, 2011, and is a felony of the fourth degree. Grand Theft of a firearm is charged in the theft of a firearm from a Beech Grove Road residence on July 23, 2011, and is classified as a felony of the third degree.

The charge of burglary is classified as a felony of the second degree in three of the counts, and a felony of the third degree in four counts. Theft and receiving stolen property are classified as a first degree misdemeanors, except in the case of the theft on Texas Road which is classified as a felony of the fifth degree.

McDaniel was also charged with escape in a February indictment for an incident which occurred in late January. McDaniel was being housed in the Meigs County Jail when he escaped, and was arrested three hours later.

Two of the charges were probation violations stemming from cases in 2010 and 2011. The original charges in those cases were one count of receiving stolen property and one count of burglary.

According to court documents, the state will argue for a sentence of nine years, 11 months during sentencing, with the defense will be arguing for an eight year sentence. Restitution could also be imposed at sentencing.

McDaniel will be sentenced at 9:30 a.m. on August 20 in Meigs County Common Pleas Court.
