Scioto County

PORTSMOUTH: A man is in the Scioto County Jail on one of the heaviest charges Ohio has.

Malik R. Hoskins was booked on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at 5:42 p.m. The jail roster lists one charge: engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity.

That charge is Ohio’s racketeering law. Prosecutors use it when they allege someone took part in an ongoing pattern of criminal activity rather than a single act. The roster does not list what activity is alleged in this case, and it does not list a bond. Hoskins remains in the Scioto County Jail.
