The sheriff’s office says in August 2016, McKees Rock police were sent to Shaw’s residence for a report of a disturbance. A female at the scene told officers she and Shaw had snorted multiple bags of heroin. When paramedics tried to treat Shaw for a possible overdose, Shaw became combative and bit a paramedic on the arm. Shaw was then charged with aggravated assault.
