YOUNGSTOWN — Squire Glenn Jr., 60, who is accused of stabbing deputy Mahoning County dog warden Dave Nelson in the arm in July, will receive a second evaluation regarding his competency to stand trial.

On Wednesday, Glenn was brought to court from the Mahoning County jail in a wheelchair and sat before Judge Carla Baldwin of Youngstown Municipal Court while his attorney, Lou DiFabio, discussed the “dilemma” presented by the evaluation conducted by the Forensic Psychiatric Center of Northeast Ohio in Austintown.

Baldwin had ordered that the facility evaluate whether Glenn was competent to stand trial.

DiFabio said the dilemma is that the evaluator found Glenn “conditionally competent based on certain conditions, one of them being that he needs to perceive his attorney in a favorable light. He does not. There are other issues there.”

He said both he and Charles Mickens, a prosecutor in the Youngstown Law Department, are asking that Glenn receive a second evaluation, this time either at Heartland Behavioral Healthcare, a state mental hospital in Massillon, or Northeast Behavioral Healthcare, a state mental hospital in Northfield near Cleveland.

Baldwin explained to Glenn what was going to happen, and he answered politely “Yes judge” several times. She told him an effort will be made to get another evaluation as soon as possible and that one of her jobs is to protect his rights.

Nelson was stabbed in the arm July 20 while investigating a dog matter on the South Side.

He had gone to the corner of West Myrtle Avenue and Oak Hill Avenue, along with Youngstown police and Animal Charity, to investigate because someone reported that a man in a wheelchair was dragging a dog along Oak Hill Avenue.

Nelson was the first of the three agencies to arrive in his county van, and saw the man on the driver’s side. He spoke briefly to the man, who was in a wheelchair but disappeared from view.

Nelson then turned to his right to speak into his portable radio and report his location when the man, later identified as Glenn, pulled himself up into the driver’s window and attacked Nelson with a knife, Nelson said.

A Youngstown police cruiser pulled up at that point and took Glenn into custody after he “dove off of the window,” Nelson said.

After Nelson was stabbed, the man pulled back the knife and said, “You’re (deleted) dead. I’m cutting your throat,” Nelson said.
