Man picks up second domestic violence arrest this year

A man who had a warrant for violating probation in a domestic-violence case earlier this year was arrested on a separate domestic violence charge Christmas Day.
Adam McLane, 26, of Atkinson Avenue, is in the Mahoning County jail after his arraignment Tuesday in municipal court.
McLane was arrested about 4:45 p.m. Sunday after police were called to his home for a report of an argument between a man and a woman, reports said.
The woman told police she had been arguing with McLane after she got home from work about 3 p.m. because they could not agree on where they were going to go for the holiday. The woman told police McLane kneed her in the eye and kicked her in the side of the face.
The victim’s face had some redness, and there appeared to be the imprint of a shoe on her face as well, reports said.
On Nov. 15, a warrant was issued for McLane’s arrest on a probation violation from a domestic-violence arrest he had in April, where he pleaded no contest in municipal court and was found guilty of domestic violence.
He was placed on two years’ probation and ordered to get a mental-health evaluation and anger management counseling. Records do not say what prompted the court to issue a warrant.
In that case, McLane was accused of assaulting the mother of his child. The victim told police McLane was assaulting her at an East Side home and she ran into a 1721 Lansdowne Blvd. market and tried to hold the doors shut so McLane could not get inside. McLane forced his way in, threw the woman on the ground and began beating her. An employee in the store managed to get McLane off the victim, and she ran away, with McLane chasing her in a car with their son in the back seat, reports said.
Police found the two in the middle of the street with McLane beating her until police arrived.
In 2013, McLane pleaded no contest and was found guilty in municipal court for a fourth-degree misdemeanor domestic violence against the same victim as in the April case, and a misdemeanor count of criminal trespass, court records show. He was sentenced to 15 days in jail and given credit for 15 days’ time served and placed on a year’s probation and ordered to attend an anger- management class.
