Probable cause: Joplin man assaults ex-girlfriend, says he'll shoot her when he gets out


A Joplin man assaulted his ex-girlfriend and after being arrested said he would shoot her when he gets out, according to a probable cause statement filed Friday in Jasper County Circuit Court.

Kahari Cenqui Glover (DOB 2000) pleaded not guilty this morning to burglary and second-degree assault charges during a video arraignment this morning. He is being held on a $50,000 cash-only bond.

From the probable cause statement:

On August 13, 2026, I, Officer Moore, was advised of a domestic assault which took place at around 2100 hours on August 12, 2026, at a residence in Joplin, Jasper County, MO. During the assault, Kahari Glover entered the home of his ex-girlfriend, V1. 








V1 and Kahari have three children in common. He possesses a key to her home, where he does not live and has not lived in some time. Kahari was asked to return the key and refuses. 

When he arrived at the home on the day of the altercation, he was asked to leave multiple times by V1. Instead of leaving, Kahari grabbed V1 by the front of her shirt and pulled her down a hallway, into her bedroom. He proceeded to place his hands around her neck and squeeze, strangling her until she turned purple and felt she was going to lose consciousness. 

V1 stated during the altercation she sustained a busted lip as well as bruising and scratches around her neck. I observed all of these injuries on V1. V1 stated after he stopped strangling her, he pushed her onto the bed where she nearly fell on top of their sleeping 4 month old infant.

Joplin Municipal Court records indicate Glover is awaiting trial on a domestic assault charge stemming from a March 20 arrest.






Kahari denied all allegations and stated he was never inside of the home. He stated he was with another
girlfriend who would corroborate his story. I contacted W1, Kahari's other girlfriend. She provided the
statement that she had given V1 a ride home while Kahari was in the car and when they arrived at V1's
home, Karahi exited the vehicle and followed her inside. He was gone for approximately 5 minutes and returned "very heated." Kahari and W1 then left.

During Kahari's arrest he made multiple statements about shooting V1 and that she should be afraid for when he gets out.
