Florida bride, caterer arrested after guests get sick off drug-laced wedding food, deputies say

Danya Glenny

A Seminole County bride and a wedding caterer were arrested after deputies say several wedding guests were served food laced with drugs.

The bride, Danya Glenny, is facing charges including tampering, culpable negligence and delivery of marijuana. Joycelyn Bryant, who reportedly catered the wedding, is facing the same charges.

On Feb. 19, deputies responded to The Springs Clubhouse in Longwood after a guest at Glenny’s wedding reportedly began “feeling weird.” The guest told deputies that he felt like he “had drugs inside him” after only consuming food and wine.

First responders on the scene treated several people who were complaining of stomach pains and vomiting. A female guest reportedly told fire officials that the food was laced with marijuana. Another guest said that he was feeling “ill and high,” according to the report, and that he wanted to press charges against the people responsible for possibly lacing his food. He, along with other guests, were taken to South Seminole Hospital for treatment.

During the investigation, the catering company was identified as Joycelyn’s Southern Kitchen.

Deputies spoke with Glenny and another person and asked if she had consented to or requested that the food contain marijuana. The report states that she stared at the deputy with a blank expression before saying no. Deputies then tried to locate the catering manager, Bryant, but the staff had already left.

Several samples of glassware and food were collected from the party to be tested, including chocolate covered strawberries, pudding ‘shot’ desserts, and lasagna.

Former Arizona sheriff’s deputy arrested for allegedly crashing weddings and stealing newlyweds’ gifts

A former sheriff’s deputy in Arizona allegedly crashed as many as 11 weddings and stole thousands of dollars worth of gifts from newly married couples, the Chandler Police Department said this week.

Landon Earl Rankin, 54, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of two counts of burglary in relations to thefts at two Phoenix-area weddings last month.

He is also facing several drug charges after police found amphetamine and fentanyl in his possession, according to Chandler police.

Rankin would allegedly pose as a guest at weddings and steal boxes of wedding cards. The boxes at the Phoenix-area weddings both contained between $3,000 and $6,000.

During the investigation, police uncovered at least 11 recent incidents of similar wedding thefts in the East Valley region of Arizona that Rankin could be responsible for.

Surveillance images released by the Chandler Police Department show Rankin in a button-down shirt and slacks running with what is allegedly the wedding card boxes in a plastic bag.

Rankin retired from the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office in 2015 after 21 years on the force.

He told police after he was arrested that he attended the weddings to hear the vows “because he was going through a divorce,” according to a probable-cause statement.

Woman allegedly kills husband after he confesses to loving someone else; another woman comes forward claiming to be real wife

Harris County Precinct 4 constables said a woman confessed to killing her husband in a jealous fit of rage Saturday morning, but another woman has come forward to KPRC 2 saying that she, not the accused, is the victim’s actual wife.

Karin Tricia Stewart, 51, has been charged with murder.

The tragedy began to unfold when deputies were dispatched to a residence in the 23600 block of Buttress Root Drive around 2:21 a.m. They arrived to find a man, James Hargrove, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

The victim was rushed to Houston Northwest Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Stewart, who is 51 years old, allegedly told investigators the victim was her husband and that she shot him after he told her he was in love with another woman.

Stewart was taken into custody and booked into the Harris County Jail. Her bond has been set at $75,000.

On Monday, during Stewart’s court appearance, a woman who identified herself as Sandra Hargrove told KPRC 2 that she is the victim’s real wife, not Stewart. Hargrove said in an interview that she received a call from her stepson, telling her that her husband had been shot to death.

Hargrove said she came to Stewart’s first court appearance to find out what happened to her husband.

Hargrove said she and the victim have been legally married since 2009 and recently separated in November, but still were in contact every other day. She said she was not aware of any relationship he had with Stewart or any other woman.

Hargrove said she is shocked at what happened, adding that, from her knowledge, Stewart was only his caregiver. She said that her husband had recently recovered after being in the hospital with COVID-19 for several months.

“He’s still my husband,” Hargrove said tearfully. “I mean, we have grandkids, we have kids, we have nieces and nephews. That’s still my husband.”

She said she and her family want justice.

“Even when we separated — we didn’t cause he was my best friend,” Hargrove said.
