*The man cops were reportedly looking for on the night they shot EMT Breonna Taylor in the botched no-knock raid, was offered a plea bargain that would have required him to say Taylor was part of his “organized crime syndicate.”
We previously reported… Jamarcus Glover, 30, was arrested last Thursday after warrants were issued for his arrest in July on drug charges, per Daily Mail.
According to police, Glover and Taylor used to date years ago, and he used her address and phone number as his own in the run-up to her death.
On March 13, Taylor, 26, was shot eight times while sleeping in her bed with her boyfriend Kenneth Walker when three plain clothes officers performed a no-knock arrest warrant at her Louisville apartment.
A search warrant revealed cops believed Glover was hiding drugs or money at Taylor’s home.

At the time of the raid, Glover was already in police custody 10 miles away. No drugs or cash were found at Taylor’s home.
Glover was arrested last week, one day after he reportedly told a Louisville paper that Taylor had no involvement in drug trafficking.
According to Taylor family attorney Sam Aguiar, the plea deal, which Glover declined, would have required that he admit that he, Taylor and another co-defendant had trafficked drugs “into the Louisville community.”
“Commonwealth Attorney Tom Wine tried to give the Elliott Ave. defendants a plea deal on July 13 which would have identified Breonna Taylor as a “co-defendant” for actions related to the arrests on April 22, 2020,” Aguiar wrote on Facebook alongside photos of the plea agreement. “When was Breonna Taylor ever a co-defendant?” he asked, noting Wine’s attempt to hold anyone but the police responsible, per Complex.
Critics of the Kentucky Police have noted this could be why the attorney general has not made a decision yet on how to move forward with this case, as he’s trying to figure out another way to cover up this.
If Glover accepted the plea offered to him, he could have been released on probation. He is instead facing a possible 10-year prison sentence on drug trafficking and gun charges.
“This goes to show how desperate Tom Wine is to justify the wrongful search of Breonna Taylor’s home, her killing and arrest of Kenneth Walker,” Aguiar added in his Facebook post. “Breonna Taylor is not a ‘co-defendant’ in a criminal case. She’s dead. Way to try and attack a woman when she’s not even here to defend herself.”
Taylor was alive for six minutes after being shot multiple times and she was not offered any medical attention, according to a 31-page complaint filed by her family, according to the New York Times,
“In the six minutes that elapsed from the time Breonna was shot, to the time she died, we have no evidence suggesting that any officer made entry in an attempt to check and assist her,” Aguiar told the Times. “She suffered.”
