State police obtain warrant for arrest of Canton teenager
State police obtained a warrant for the arrest of a Canton Township teen on drug and other charges after he reportedly ran from two troopers trying to take him into custody on a juvenile probation violation.
Isaac David Glendenning, 18, of 2024 Jefferson Ave., is charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, flight to avoid apprehension and false identification to police.
Troopers Chad Weaver and Vincent Borello were called Dec. 29 after his father, Robert Glendenning, reported his son was sleeping in the family vehicle, which was parked in the driveway. The father also told police his son was wanted by juvenile probation.
Robert Glendenning reportedly told police his son was on the run for the past few days, taking unknown amounts of drugs and sleeping outside in different areas. He also told police his son fled the area on foot within the last 10 minutes and gave police a description of what he was wearing.
Glendenning’s mother was driving through the neighborhood and told police she had seen her son on Wolfe Avenue. Police drove down Wolfe and spotted a teen matching Glendenning’s description.
Weaver got out of the cruiser and yelled the teen’s name, telling him to stop walking. Isaac Glendenning ignored his commands and disappeared into a wooded area. Weaver alerted Borello.
The two troopers parked their cruisers on Melody Lane and walked into the woods, where they spotted a teen who identified himself as Devin Garber. The teen was sweating profusely and his clothing was muddy.
Police handcuffed him. The area was checked and a white-and-red jacket was found about 20 feet away. Glendenning continued to insist his name was Garber.
As troopers approached their cruisers, they came into contact with three Washington police officers. One of the officers said he knew that Garber was in the Washington County jail.
Police searched Glendenning and found a cigarette pack containing five pills later determined to be hydrocodone. They also found a bag of marijuana. When they took him back to his house, his mother identified him.
Juvenile probation placed him in the Jefferson County (Ohio) Juvenile Probation Center. Glendenning will be arraigned on the charges at a later date before District Judge David Mark.
