Florida man resisting arrest spits baggies of cocaine, meth and Fentanyl into cop’s face
On April 23 just before 8 p.m., deputies with the Port Charlotte Sheriff’s Office responded to a call in reference to a homeless camp occupying a wooded vacant lot located in the 19000 block of Veterans Boulevard in Port Charlotte, Florida. This property is a strict non-trespass zone and has been known to produce complaints of narcotic activity.
When deputies entered the wooded lot, they noticed several tents and personal property. Exiting one of those tents was 58-year-old Kenneth T. Glenn. Deputies say that when Glenn spotted the deputies, he began pacing and behaving in a nervous manner. Deputies said that it was apparent he was trying to conceal an object behind his leg.
Inside the tent behind Glenn, deputies could see a smoking pipe. When asked what he was hiding behind his leg, he took off running.
Deputies pursued Glenn while giving verbal commands to stop running. Glenn continued on until deputies located him wedged between multiple peppertree vines and laying on his back. Glenn was freed from the vines and brought both hands to the front of his body revealing a canister that contained two plastic baggies.
Glenn quickly shoved both baggies into this mouth and attempted to swallow the contents.
While attempting to remove the contents, Glenn opened his mouth and spit the contents directly into the face of a deputy. The baggies and canister which contained two more baggies were collected as evidence. The contents inside the 4 baggies were separately identified as Cocaine and a Methamphetamine/Fentanyl mix.
Both Glenn and the deputy were checked by medical professionals. The deputy was uninjured.
Kenneth T. Glenn was arrested and charged with the following:
- Possession Controlled Substance (2 counts)
- Possession of Cocaine
- Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Sell
- Possession of Cocaine with Intent to Sell
- Trafficking in Fentanyl, 4 Grams or More
