Sergeant Heather Glenn

On July 2nd, Sergeant Glenn was sent to Perry County Memorial Hospital to interview a patient who was being treated for injuries sustained in a domestic violence incident. Sergeant Glenn relayed information to other officers, and they began to search for the assailant.

Early the next morning, the patient reported to hospital staff that the assailant was on his way there. Officers were alerted, responded to the hospital, and confronted the assailant.

The suspect resisted as officers attempted to take him into custody. Sergeant Glenn deployed a taser, but it had no effect. As the struggle continued, the suspect pulled a gun and fired, causing fatal wounds to Sergeant Glenn. Officers returned fire and fatally wounded the suspect.

The incident occurred at approximately 12:50 am. (Central).

Sergeant Glenn's father was the retired Tell City Police Chief and former County Sheriff.
