Glenn O. Anderson, 25, of St. Charles, turned himself in to the Columbia Police Department last Thursday in relation to homicide of Brian Daniels, who was found dead in his home April 10.

Anderson made the decision after being advised of the warrant, a CPD news release stated.

“Detectives had applied for a warrant for his arrest at the Boone County Prosecuting Attorney’s office earlier that day, and they must have had his contact information, so
they called him and let him know they had a warrant,” said CPD spokesman Joe Bernhard.

Anderson was arrested at 6:10 p.m. Thursday.

Earlier in the day, Columbia detectives applied for and received a warrant for his arrest. They worked with the Boone County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office to obtain it.

Anderson is the third suspect arrested in connection to the homicide and has been charged on the counts of hindering prosecution.

According to the Missouri Constitution, hindering prosecution is when a person provides a suspect with a means to avoid arrest, such as warning them of a police encounter, providing them with money or transportation to leave town, or disguising the suspect in any way.

Homicide is a felony; therefore, hindering prosecution of the felony results in a Class D felony. Otherwise it will be treated as a Class A misdemeanor, the constitution states.

CPD officers responded to Daniels’ home 7 p.m. April 10 due to a reported possible robbery and unresponsive person, the news release said. Daniels was pronounced dead when officers arrived at the scene five minutes later.

“The probable cause statement said Daniels had been shot three times,” Bernhard said. “The investigation is still ongoing, as there are plenty more follow-ups and leads to go on. We have to rule out every possible suspect.”

Anderson made up a false alibi for suspect James Thompson, who told police they were together in St. Charles the night before the shooting.

Cellphone records revealed holes in his story.

“He had provided detectives with a false statement and false alibi for James Thompson,” Bernhard said.

Anderson has no prior criminal record.

Anderson’s counsel status hearing is to be held on May 7 and the preliminary hearing will be held on May 17.

Anderson’s bond amount is set at $25,000 cash. Anderson does not currently have a lawyer.
