JERSEYVILLE - Two individuals have been charged in separate cases with unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon, possession of a stolen vehicle, and more, according to recent Jersey County court documents.

Timothy G. Glenn, 25, of St. Louis, was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon (a Super Class 3 felony), unlawful possession of stolen vehicle (a Class 2 felony), and aggravated fleeing or attempting to elude a peace officer (a Class 4 felony).

On Jan. 28, 2024, Glenn allegedly stole a silver 2012 Nissan Altima with a Missouri registration number. He also possessed a “loaded Glock 22 .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol with a round chambered and a 15-round magazine with an assortment of Winchester and Federal ammunition” after previously being convicted of a felony, according to court documents.

Glenn was additionally charged with aggravated fleeing or attempting to elude a peace officer after driving the same stolen vehicle through the front yard of a residence in the 700 block of Cross Avenue in Jerseyville while ignoring a visual or audible signal from a peace officer to stop the vehicle. He was reportedly driving at least 21 miles per hour over the legal speed limit at the time of the offense.
