SIDNEY – A Minster area man has been sentenced to 30 months in state prison for an incident that involved gunfire and kidnapping.

The case was among several heard Tuesday that resulted in signification prison time being declared in Shelby County Common Pleas Court.

Shamon Tyler Runyon, 20, 12534 State Route 362, Minster, was ordered to the 2 ½-year incarceration with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) on a charge of attempted kidnapping, a third-degree felony.

According to online court records, on June 24, Runyon was lying on the bed at his residence with an adult female when he discharged a High Point 9mm pistol into a closet. Authorities report the bullet went through the wall of his trailer and into the wall of a neighboring unit, according to Shelby County Sheriff’s Deputy Joel March.
