Lima man charged in Walmart incident identified

Sep. 15—LIMA — The identity of the man taken into custody after the Lima Walmart incident last week has been released.

Shane Davis, 37, of Lima, is charged with three counts of aggravated menacing for using a BB gun he obtained from inside the store to point at people inside, resulting in an evacuation, Lima Police Det. Steve Stechschulte said Thursday. At about 4:49 p.m. last Thursday, Lima Police officers responded to Walmart, 2450 Allentown Road, after receiving a call about a man with a gun.

Davis is currently in custody for the incident, and Lima Police is looking into getting him into a treatment facility for his mental health, rather than simply incarceration, Stechschulte said.

Davis surrendered to police without incident and without anyone being harmed.
