On 03/29/19 Villa Rica Police were given a lookout on a maroon Cadillac CTS that was involved in a theft from a T-Mobile store in Carrollton. As Sgt. Steven Lujan was setting up at the south city limits to watch for the vehicle, he was notified that a Carroll Co. Deputy was following a maroon Cadillac CTS. Sgt. Lujan assisted Carroll Co. SheriffÂ’s Office in stopping the vehicle and found that Glasper was a passenger in the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Bryheem Wright, 51 years old, from Douglasville, Ga. Both Glasper and Wright were arrested for the crime in Carrollton and Glasper was also charged with both Robberies in Villa Rica.

Villa Rica Detectives are working on the cases to determine if Wright was involved in the crimes committed in Villa Rica. It is believed that Glasper has committed similar crimes in Stockbridge, Woodstock, Smyrna, Norcross, Marietta, Conyers, Decatur, Lilburn, Fayetteville, and Stone Mountain. This is an ongoing investigation as Villa Rica Detectives continue to share information with these cities.
