Fugitive sex offender has violent past

Published December 14, 2011 5:00am EST



U.S. marshals are looking for a convicted sex offender with a violent past who disappeared without notifying the sex offender registry.

Deputies say 36-year-old Kenneth Antonio Glover is still hiding in the D.C. area, where he has been arrested on charges of murder, assault on a police officer, auto theft and assault, as well as weapons and narcotics charges.

Glover has several distinctive tattoos. A picture of an eagle rests on his right forearm, and on his chest is written, “Kenny Loves Mom.”

“Kenny definitely seems to be a person that needs some adult supervision,” said Supervisory Inspector Matt Burke of the Capital Area Region Fugitive Task Force. “He needs to be taken back into custody before someone else gets hurt.”

Glover has to register as a sex offender and has a child sex assault conviction in 2010 in Frederick.

In 1993, Glover was one of four young men charged with felony murder in the robbery slaying of a 74-year-old man who owned a carryout and grocery store in the Brookland neighborhood of Northeast Washington. Glover pleaded guilty to lesser charges of assault with intent to rob and possession of firearm during a crime of violence. The murder charge was dismissed and Glover was sentenced to seven years in prison.

Glover is listed as 5-feet-5 and 165 pounds. He has lived in Alexandria and the District, and has been known to frequent the area of the 1800 block of Otis Street NE.

Anyone with information about Glover or his whereabouts should call the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force at 301-489-1717.

Tips from readers of The Washington Examiner readers have led directly to the arrest of at least 37 wanted fugitives and suspects over the past three years, including convicted murderers, kidnappers, sex offenders, rapists and scam artists.

Two weeks ago, a reader called in with information that led to the arrest of man wanted for a 1997 homicide.

Last week, a suspect in an attempted bank robbery near the National Cathedral was captured thanks to another tip from an alert reader of the Examiner, according to the FBI.

The Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, run by the U.S. Marshals Service, is composed of 30 federal, state and local agencies from Baltimore to Norfolk. The unit has captured more than 33,000 wanted fugitives since its creation in 2004.
