Federal grand jury indicts Rita Glasgow, three others on meth conspiracy, trafficking charges


A federal grand jury has indicted a Joplin woman and three men on meth conspiracy charges.

The indictment, which was unsealed today in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, alleges Rita Michelle Glasgow, 30, Joplin, William D. Johnson, 46, Joplin, Douglas S. Ward, 32, and Joshua T. Davenport, 39, were involved in a meth trafficking conspiracy in Newton and Greene counties between May 20, 2019 and September 28, 2019.

Glasgow remains in the Jasper County Jail being held without bond on the federal charge while also awaiting trial on two felony charges of driving while intoxicated (deaths of two people) possession of a controlled substance and tampering with a motor vehicle for her actions on January 4 when she allegedly drove a stolen vehicle into the crowded intersection at 28th Street and Connecticut and rammed into an SUV, killing Terry Copple, 55, and Rhonda Copple, 48, of Joplin.

Glasgow's federal indictment charges her with one count of conspiracy to distribute meth and two counts of possession with intent to distribute.

Glasgow will be arraigned and have a detention hearing Wednesday in Springfield.

Cannot see any redeeming qualities about this person. Not sure the length of jail time, but should be out soon or at all
