STEUBENVILLE — A city resident who allegedly wounded another man in a shooting outside Maryland Market two months ago was indicted by Jefferson County grand jurors Wednesday, one of eight people ordered to stand trial.

The defendants also include a Mingo Junction man named a felony indictments alleging he was involved in three separate crimes — two of them while he was incarcerated in the Jefferson County Jail — as well as a Weirton man who allegedly tried to evade police in a Chevy Tracker that had been reported stolen in Brooke County.

Grand jurors returned a true bill charging 21-year-old Javian McIntyre, 1333 Euclid Ave., Apt. 1, Steubenville, with having a weapon in his possession, a felony, during the March 10 shooting in the 1400 block of Maryland Avenue.

Though he’d been able to purchase the gun at a pawn shop, authorities maintain McIntyre, convicted in juvenile court in 2020 of aggravated robbery and burglary, is prohibited from having or using firearms because he’d been adjudicated as a delinquent child for an offense that, had he been of legal age, would have been classified as a felony.

The indictment alleges McIntyre knowingly acquired or possessed the gun despite his weapons ban.

Facing felony charges in three different cases–two of them stemming from jailhouse fights–is Bradon Edward Adkins, 321 McLister Ave., Mingo Junction.

The indictments charge Adkins, 33, with two counts of felonious assault stemming from fights with two other inmates on March 22 and April 21, injuring both.

The victim in the April fight, which allegedly stemmed from a dispute over an electronic cigarette, suffered a broken eye socket and broken ribs, authorities said.

Grand jurors declined to indict Adkins’ March 22 opponent, said to also have sustained broken bones.

Adkins, meanwhile, and an alleged co-conspirator, 60-year-old James Thomas Birkhimer, 134 Spring Ave., Mingo Junction, were indicted separately on charges of burglary, grand theft when the property involved is a firearm or dangerous ordinance, theft and vandalism, in connection with a March 16 break-in at a McLister Avenue residence.

Authorities allege the pair vandalized the property and stole four shotguns, electronics and other household items.

Police last month reported they’d recovered a number of items allegedly stolen from the residence, including two flat-screen TVs, jewelry, a PlayStation 4, a bag of copper piping and clothing.

Others indicted:

• Howard Marvin Franks, 414 East Church St., Apt. 22, Steubenville, felony charges of aggravated robbery, escape and aggravated assault, plus a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest.

Authorities said Franks, 40, was taken into custody following an alleged domestic disturbance on March 13. Once in custody they said he requested medical treatment and at one point his handcuffs had to be removed. When the officer tried to re-cuff him after medical professionals were done authorities allege Franks grabbed his gun, “working hard to get it out of the holster.”

The indictment alleges Franks’ effort to get the officer’s gun constituted aggravated robbery, that he did it in hopes of avoiding going to jail and, in the process, resisted arrest. He also allegedly assaulted a female known to him “while under the influence of sudden passion or in a sudden fit of rate,” causing her serious bodily harm.

• Ian Tyler Kohlman, 30, 305 Wayne Ave., Weirton, failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer on Aug. 14.

Authorities allege Kolman led police on a chase through the city before getting onto Veterans Memorial Bridge, where he crashed. During the chase police reported Kolman tried to flee after striking one cruiser and then hit the other one.

They said Kolman faces additional charges in West Virginia.

• Corey Kedo Mitchell Forster, 202 Center Ave., Mingo Junction, retaliation, a felony, March 14.

Authorities allege Forster, 30, repeatedly threatened a Wintersville police officer who had cited him for a driving violation after he received the standard notice warning him he had six points on his driving record and his license would be suspended if he accrued six more.

Authorities allege Forster misunderstood the warning and on multiple occasions made multiple threats to the officer, who’d warned him he needed to walk away.

• Robert Lee Kinkus, 35, 450 Township Road 109A, Rayland, theft of drugs, a felony, plus misdemeanor theft, on Feb. 21.

Kinkus allegedly was talking to a man parked outside the Yorkville Walgreens when he suddenly reached in the man’s vehicle, grabbing a bag of outdated medicines he was taking there for proper disposal.

At the time deputies had said Kinkus, taken into custody at a nearby apartment, appeared to be under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.” They’d also reported the tenant living in the apartment had emerged with a bag of pills and pill bottles he claimed Kinkus had carried into his home.

• Andrew Walter Zurek, 146 Roby St., Adena, failure to register as a sex offender, a felony, Feb. 24-March 5.

Auhorities say Zurek, formerly of Adena, had been convicted of raping a then-42-year-old woman at knifepoint in Harrison County in 2016. After his release from prison authorities allege Zurek, 60, failed to report to the halfway house he’d been assigned to and did not register as a sex offender as required.

He was living with a family member in Jefferson County when he was located, they said.

• William Louis King, 121 Grandview Ave., Mingo Junction, having weapons while under disability, March 25.

Authorities allege Steubenville Police found a heavily intoxicated King, 41, passed out in a vehicle with an empty liquor bottle with his gun sitting on top of a handgun. He is prohibited from owning or using guns due to a 2023 conviction in Jefferson County Common Pleas Court for felony drug possession.
