Mcleod was given a $40,000 bond. As of Monday afternoon, he was not listed as an inmate in the Tri-County Jail in Mechanicsburg.
OSHP Lt. Robert Sellers said Mcleod is on leave without pay pending the outcome of the investigation. Mcleod was assigned to the Springfield Post of the OSHP prior to being placed on leave, according to Sellers.
“The allegations against Mr. Mcleod do not reflect the values of this agency,” Sellers said.
Mcleod began working for the highway patrol in 2013, according to his personnel file, which was obtained by the Springfield News-Sun through a public records request.
Throughout his time with OSHP, Mcleod received “meets expectations,” on all of his yearly reviews, according to his personnel file. His only punishment came in late 2019 when Mcleod failed a random drug screening and tested positive for marijuana.
In late 2018, Mcleod was transferred to Columbus and served as a “plainclothes investigator,” for roughly a year before returning to the Springfield post in January of 2020.
Mcleod is next scheduled to appear in court on Thursday morning.
