PRESTONSBURG — Rape and sodomy lead a list of 41 indictments handed down by a Floyd County grand jury this week.

David Jason Slone, 38, of Wayland, was indicted on one count of first-degree rape and one count of first-degree sodomy for alleged using force to engage in sexual intercourse and deviate sexual intercourse with an unnamed victim April 21.

Shortly after the attack occurred, Slone was shot by a relative of the victim, who then held him at gunpoint while waiting for police to arrive. Prosecutors declined to charge the woman with a crime.

Slone was also charged with one count of being a persistent felony offender because he has at least two previous felony convictions on his record.

In other news, Gary Coburn, 58, of Wayland, was charged with attempted murder, first-degree burglary and possession of burglar’s tools. The grand jury alleges Coburn unlawfully entered the home of Ouida Coburn and pointed a loaded gun at her, with the intent to kill her.

In another case, Christopher L. Cox, 26, of Garrett, was indicted on charges of first-degree unlawful imprisonment and fourth-degree assault. The grand jury accused him of unlawfully restraining Jeanna White on Dec. 19, and of hitting her with a belt and punching her in the face.

The grand jury also charged a Melvin man for the Feb. 25 theft of University of Kentucky-themed memorial flowers from the grave of Anthony Osborne, at Newman Cemetery at Hi Hat. Randall J. Vickers Jr., 26, faces single counts of violating graves and theft.
