Home Sweet Home

At some point early on Saturday morning Julian Glenn, 26, reportedly called a colleague and told him that he had killed his wife, 25 year old Miosha Glenn. That friend then made contact with police.

Police went to the couple’s home and there they found Mrs. Glenn dead, apparently from a gunshot wound. It is unknown how long she had been dead. Meanwhile, Glenn reportedly tried to run his vehicle off a bridge. Instead he hit a guardrail. After striking the guardrail, Glenn reportedly walked into oncoming traffic and jumped on the grill of a stopped semi tractor. Allegedly Glenn then approached a black Nissan, forced the driver out of the car at gunpoint, and took off in the Nissan.  

Police then received a report that a black Nissan had gone down an embankment on the interstate, just across the state line. When they responded to that scene, Glenn reportedly ran toward the officers yelling obsentities and holding a gun. An officer fired his weapon in self defense.

Glenn was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Some reports say that it was not certain if Glenn died solely from the gunshot wounds as he was also reported to have been injured in the accident.

No officers were injured and the investigation is ongoing.

Reportedly Jimmie Darnell Dixon, 27, and his 26 year old wife had been married for about 6 years and they had a two year old daughter. The two had separated some months prior and had gone to court for a divorce on Friday.

Later that day the wife and daughter were reportedly abducted from a relatives home by Dixon. Still in the vehicle and caught in rush hour traffic, an argument reportedly developed over “domestic issues” such as child support.

Caught in rush hour traffic and with other motorists looking on in horror, Dixon reportedly became upset and pulled a knife and began stabbing his wife multiple times. She jumped from the car and ran to a deputy sheriff vehicle who also happened to be caught in the traffic a few cars from them. As she exited the car, she saw her husband turn to their child.

Reportedly Dixon began stabbing the little girl multiple times, and the final stab was with such force that it resulted in the knife being lodged in the child’s head.

At that point Dixon then reportedly then laid the child on the road and got back into his vehicle. He put the vehicle in gear and began to drive off, sideswiping a couple of cars in the process. When he reached the deputy’s car, he sideswiped it, and hit his wife. She was reportedly thrown 20-40 feet from the impact of the vehicle.

After he sped away, he hit struck three utility poles, and eventually rolled his vehicle onto the top of another vehicle trapping the driver inside.

Mother, Dixon, and child were all rushed to the hospital. The child has been reported to be in “extremely serious condition” with a cut “along her midsection and a kitchen knife lodged in her head.”  The mother is reported to be in serious but non-life threatening condition. Dixon suffered minor injuries. Some reports say that as rescuers were cutting him out of his vehicle he could heard calling for help other reports say he was heard saying “I’m sorry”.

Dixon was released from the hospital and has been charged with 2 counts of attempted 1 st degree murder, and 2 nd degree kidnapping, aggravated obstruction of a highway, and of course- violation of a protective order.

No other injuries were reported.

Domestic violence is commonly called a “couple’s problem” both by observers and authorities.

This “couple’s problem” resulted in serious injuries to the mother, extremely critical injuires to a child, numerous motorists being endangered- including a deputy sheriff, and damage to multiple vehicles and utility poles. Not to mention the number of motorists who were inconvenienced due to the traffic tie up at rush hour.  

As he was trapped in his vehicle and calling for help, I just have to wonder if he had any thoughts for his little girl lying along the side of the road with a knife in her head and other stab wounds inflicted at his hands. Or his wife, who had been stabbed multiple times and then had been struck with his auto. Or the other motorists who might have been injured when his vehicle struck theirs. And there he was trapped in the vehicle he had wrecked, calling for help with his minor injuries.

Somehow, “I’m sorry” just doesn’t seem to be enough.

Thanks to Magz for the tip on this one.
