WEST FARGO — Formal charges were filed Monday, Feb. 9, against a Florida woman accused of firing multiple shots at vehicles and toward a home in a residential neighborhood after she and her girlfriend had a domestic dispute.
Brittany Glennon, 35, of Clearwater, Florida, was living with her girlfriend, who was working as a traveling nurse at Sanford in Fargo, according to court documents. Glennon’s girlfriend told detectives that she and Glennon had been having relationship issues since the end of December, and that Glennon had become physically abusive toward and “obsessed” with her. The woman said she’d left their shared apartment early on the morning of Friday, Feb. 6, after another major argument to go stay with a co-worker and her family in West Fargo.
Later that day, just before 2 p.m., police were called to the home of the co-worker in the 400 block of 26th Avenue West, where officers confirmed multiple shots had been fired, striking two unoccupied vehicles. There, the homeowner of the townhome in front of which the vehicles were hit identified Glennon as the shooter.
He said he was about to leave the home to pick his children up from school when he saw Glennon, sitting in her pick-up, pull a handgun out and start shooting. He said he recognized Glennon because he had sent her away earlier in the day after she showed up drunk at the home looking for her girlfriend. The girlfriend told officers Glennon had likely located her there by a Bluetooth tracker on her keychain. The homeowner’s wife and Glennon’s girlfriend are co-workers, court documents said.
The homeowner told investigators he dropped to the floor after Glennon fired the first shot and yelled as his wife and young son to get to the back of the house because it seemed like Glennon was firing at the house.
The girlfriend told police the gun Glennon had likely used was hers and that she had a concealed carry license and bullets for it, but that she’d never fired it.
Witnesses in the 3300 block of Veterans Boulevard also reported the gunshots and identified the pick-up Glennon was driving, which had Florida plates.
Police attempted a traffic stop on the pick-up shortly after the shots fired calls came in, but Glennon fled, leading to
a pursuit southbound on Veterans Boulevard,
according to a release from the West Fargo Police Department. Officers used a pursuit intervention technique in the 3200 block of Veterans Boulevard to force the vehicle to stop and arrested Glennon. The gun was recovered, according to court documents.
Glennon is charged with four counts of reckless endangerment with a firearm, terrorizing and fleeing a police officer, all felonies, and two misdemeanor DUI offenses. She was arraigned Monday afternoon in Cass County Court and a March preliminary hearing was scheduled in the case.
