In January of 2019, McClure was arrested in Musselshell County and charged with three felonies and three misdemeanors, for stealing two cars and then attempting to escape from the Musselshell County jail. According to court documents, Musselshell County Sheriff Shawn Lesnik apprehended McClure after responding to report of a stolen truck from the Kilby Butte Colony. Witnesses saw the suspect drive into the front gate of the Colony at high speed and abandon a car that turned out to be stolen from Billings and then steal a truck. McClure refused to follow law enforcement commands and began to run before finally being apprehended.
