Altoona Man Headed To Prison

An Altoona man is headed to prison for perhaps up to a decade after being sentenced yesterday in connection with a case involving drugs and stolen guns. 25 year old Shayne McDade has already been in the Blair County Prison since he was arrested in February 2020. On Thursday, he pled no contest to criminal conspiracy, possession with intent to deliver and three counts of receiving stolen property. McDade will be credited for time served toward the state sentence. McDade also has a parole violation to deal with in Cambria County before his anticipated transfer to the State Correctional Institution at Camp Hill.
