Cobb County Police arrested a Kennesaw State student at Ridgeview Institute on Thursday, Sept. 13, after the student was found on the Kennesaw campus with a loaded gun.
According to an arrest report available on the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office website, Kenneth Alvin Glover faces a felony charge of carrying weapons within school safety zones. Glover also faces four more felony counts — three counts of terroristic threats and acts and an additional charge of aggravated assault.
A bond was set at $11,220 for the charge of carrying weapons within school safety zones, but Glover is not being provided with the option of a bond for the other four felony charges.
KSU’s Police Department detained Glover on Aug. 29 after they received a call from his mother requesting that they perform a welfare check. Responding officers found Glover outside of The Commons on the Kennesaw campus and requested that a counselor from Student Success Services arrives to evaluate him.
A report obtained from the KSU Police Department revealed that Glover’s mother told police that Glover is bipolar and had not been taking his medication. She reported that she did not know how long Glover had been off of his medication and she said that he seemed to be in a “manic state.”
Once he finished speaking with Glover, the counselor reported to the police that Glover had threatened to “kill students who wronged him.” The officers then detained Glover for an involuntary evaluation, according to the report.
After KSU police detained Glover, they found a loaded handgun in his backpack and issued a warrant for his arrest.
Glover was then transported to Ridgeview Institute, a behavioral hospital in Smyrna. The responding officer stated in the report that while he was being transported, Glover “started to ramble on about killing people, he was Jesus, is known to stack bodies and other various odd language.”
Glover remained at Ridgeview Institute for nearly 15 days before being released and then arrested by the Cobb County police.
