Jamarcus Glover, the target of the Breonna Taylor raid, sentenced to 7 years in prison

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Jamarcus Glover, the subject of a police raid in Louisville that killed Breonna Taylor, was sentenced to seven years in prison Tuesday, three months after violating his probation by not showing up for court appearances on charges connected to a drug trafficking ring.

U.S. Marshals arrested Glover on Jan. 22 after an extensive fugitive investigation and search after finding him at a home on Rodman Street near the Algonquin neighborhood.

Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Mitch Perry revoked Glover's probation Tuesday morning in a drug case involving the March 13, 2020, drug trafficking raids.

Police shot and killed Taylor, 26, that night during an undercover raid on her apartment on Springfield Drive as part of a series of raids elsewhere that targeted narcotics trafficking. No drugs or money were found in her home.

Glover, who received probation and was supposed to leave the state as part of a guilty plea in a litany of crimes — mostly drug trafficking and possession — was sentenced to five years of probation with an eight-year prison sentence hanging over his head if he violated the conditions of the agreement.

As part of the plea deal, Glover was supposed to move to Mississippi.

In October, a grand jury indicted Glover and six additional people allegedly involved in the overdose death of a 13-year-old girl. The child overdosed on fentanyl in an apartment on Prince William Street, where Glover lived.

Police said Kiera Bradley, the girl's mother, was in a relationship with Glover. Court documents show her 18-year-old son, Kereon Bradley, also lived at the location.

Police arrested Glover after raids on the apartment and another location on Taylor Boulevard. Police said they found drugs and guns during the searches.

Glover posted a $20,000 bond, paid for by a man in Nebraska, a woman in Owensboro and Kiera Bradley, then skipped court and went on the run.

A grand jury indicted Glover, Kiera Bradley, Kereon Bradley, and four other adults — Ronald Jay Hall, Anthony Johnson, Ahrae Marks and Christopher Skinner — for trafficking fentanyl and cocaine, engaging in organized crime, and tampering with physical evidence.

Glover was arrested at a home on Rodman Street in Louisville near the Algonquin neighborhood Jan. 22.

Police recovered a large amount of suspected methamphetamine, fentanyl, suboxone and ammunition when Glover.

In October 2023, Glover and six others were scheduled to be arraigned on charges connected to a drug trafficking ring. Glover was a no-show along with three others, but three of his alleged co-conspirators were in court.

The investigation into the alleged drug ring started last April when police were called to the overdose death of a 13-year-old girl at a St. Matthews apartment. According to court documents, Glover lived at the apartment where the girl died. He is not charged in the teen's death.

Glover was arrested Oct. 1, 2023 on multiple drug and weapons charges. He and his six co-conspirators are accused of using juveniles under the age of 18 to transport and sell heroin, fentanyl and other illegal drugs.

That case is still pending. Glover is scheduled to be in court on April 16.

In 2020, police sought out a search warrant for Taylor's home as part of a broader investigation that focused on drug suspects Glover and Adrian Walker. Police believed Glover may have been using Taylor's apartment to receive drugs and store money.

Glover also used Taylor's address as his home address on bank statements and was observed by police picking up a package from her apartment in January before driving to a "known drug house," according to the police search warrant affidavit.

Police shot Taylor after bursting into her apartment near Pleasure Ridge Park. Her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, admitted to firing at police as they entered the apartment but claimed he believed the officers were intruders. He hit former officer Jonathan Mattingly.
