Red Deer RCMP arrest repeat offender in stolen vehicle

Oct 28, 2024 | 2:53 PM

A repeat offender has once again been arrested by police in central Alberta.

Red Deer RCMP say it was around 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 24, when members were notified that a vehicle had been stolen while the owner was shopping at a business in the city’s south end.

The vehicle, which was equipped with GPS tracking, allowed officers to covertly track its movements.

With assistance from RCMP Police Dog Services, and detachments in Innisfail and Blackfalds, plus Red Deer GIS, the driver of the vehicle was arrested.

Jordan Kyle Glasgow, 24, of Red Deer, is charged with the following:

  • Possession of property obtained by crime over $5000
  • Flight from a Peace Officer
  • Dangerous operation of a conveyance
  • Driving while prohibited

Glasgow was taken before a Justice of the Peace and was remanded into custody. He is scheduled to appear Nov. 4, at the Alberta Court of Justice in Red Deer.

A repeat offender, most recently, Glasgow was sentenced in October 2022 in relation to a stolen property bust that took place in Penhold in November 2021. For his role, Glasgow received 540 days in jail, plus 18 months probation and a firearms prohibition of 20 years.

Then, on March 31, 2023, Glasgow was arrested in connection to an incident in downtown Red Deer. In that incident, Glasgow was alleged to have rammed a police vehicle in a stolen vehicle, before fleeing and then being arrested.

In that case, Glasgow was sentenced to two years minus one day, on the charges of driving while prohibited, and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. Four other charges were dropped. He also received a driving prohibition.

The Ministry of Justice nor RCMP could confirm when he was last released or if he was granted time served to begin his sentence.
