The same journalist followed Glover and the two officers out of the building and asked what happened that morning causing Glover to turn around and make a face at her.
Glover was then asked by another reporter if she had anything to say about what she was being accused of to which Glover could be heard responding, lying a** n*****, and was put into the police car.
Glover is facing charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and battery. Sheriff Lopez said that once the cause of death is determined, more charges could be added.
