SDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec 27 – Timothy Glover is charged with firing a gun into the air, three separate times, in the Bronx in recent months.
On August 15, 2023 he was before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker. Inner City Press was there, the only media in the SDNY Mag Court.
Glover's Federal Defender said he should be released on bond. But Glover laughed when asked if he felt OK. The Defender noted that a prior charge had been dropped due to incapacity.
Judge Parker said Glover must be detained as a danger to the community.
Jump cut to December 27: Glover appeared before the assigned District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald for a competency hearing. When asked to speak, Glover muttered and Judge Buchwald asked the Federal Defender to translate. "He said, 'I'm flesh and blood, that's why I translate Scripture,'" the Defender said.
Glover was again deemed not competent. But what next?
The case is now US v. Glover, 23-cr-438 (Buchwald / Parker)
