St. Bernard Parish- A man who has served prison time is wanted in St.
Bernard Parish for aggravated burglary of his estranged wife's home and with
battery on her in an incident where he struck her and stole her purse before
fleeing, Chief Deputy Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

Glenn Hampton, 31, no known address, last served a 5-year prison term for
possession of a firearm by a felon, Pohlmann said.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts should call the St. Bernard
Sheriff's Office at (504) 271-2501 or Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111 and
they could be eligible for a reward.

Sheriff's detectives obtained an arrest warrant from a judge alleging
Hampton kicked in the door of his estranged wife's home in Chalmette early
Sept. 8, struck her to the face and body, then stole her purse and car keys.
She had a swollen eye from the attack.

Pohlmann said when the woman begged for the items back, Hampton threw the
keys inside and re-entered, again striking her before leaving on foot, still
with the purse. She followed him in her vehicle until she lost sight of him.

Their young son witnessed the incident, Pohlmann said.

He said the couple had been separated more than two months and his name
isn't on the lease.
