Longtime Texas JP Glenn eyes re election at 97
BENJAMIN Tex AP W C Glenn levies fines and sets bonds as do hundreds of other justices of the peace across the state. At 95 he remains the oldest JP in Texas and says he will run again if able to perform. A South Carolina native, he moved to Texas as a teen, worked as a farmer and ranch hand, and held posts including county commissioner and gas station owner. He reflects on retirement longevity and law and order, endorses the death penalty, jokes about jury duty, comments on Highway 82 fines, bail bonds, and President Roosevelt’s policies.
