Glenn has prior arrests for assault, malicious mischief, and driving without a license.
Local news station KHQ reports that Glenn will have his first court appearance on Monday, August 26.
Police are still looking for Kenan Adams-Kinard, the second suspect in the case. He also has an arrest record in juvenile court. Local news station KXLY has posted the suspect’s photo here .
The story went viral after actor James Woods asked fellow Twitter users to retweet his request for justice for Belton.
