At about 4 p.m. on January 16, William Glarner arrived at a FedEx facility in Cypress and, if law enforcement reports are accurate, gave one of the most original efforts to ship illegal narcotics undetected. Glarner, 33, approached an employee behind the counter while holding a package supposedly from a Long Beach nutrition business to a Valley City, North Dakota man. To discourage any inspection, he emphatically explained that he was “sick and contagious.”
But the crafty ploy failed.
Undercover federal agents with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had been hiding outside of the FedEx office, watching Glarner exit and walk into a nearby Mongolian BBQ restaurant. In fact, the suspect had been under surveillance since he’d left his home that day. Fifteen minutes earlier they’d seen him drop another package addressed to a Lehigh Acres, Florida woman in the self-service bin at a U.S. Post Office in Los Alamitos.
After obtaining search warrants, agents opened the packages. Inside manila envelopes were blue balloons containing tin foil wrappers which held vacuum-sealed baggies. Lab analysis detected nearly 122 grams of methamphetamine, according to a law enforcement report.
Surveillance ended on March 14, when officers arrested Glarner and claim they found 3.3 pounds of meth in his vehicle plus baggies, plastic wrap, blue latex gloves and digital scales.
He is now in the custody of U.S. Marshals and faces an April 22 hearing in Los Angeles on narcotics trafficking allegations.

Another horribly written article. What a waste of space. You can do better!
Unfortunately he inherited genes from his piece of Sh&t father! What a waste of a promising life. Very sad to see this happen but glad he’s safe and unable to hurt himself or anyone else.

Good for him this is the launch I’m coming to him now he can’t hurt anybody this should’ve happened a long time ago
I don’t appreichate anyone talking shit on my brother this is hurtful to his family my brother is a good person that is very lost and unfortunately has many issues he needs to sort out. Thank you!
your brother went from selling heroin to meth. How is he a good person? He ruined numerous lives. A federal penitentiary is exactly where he needs to be
He might have made bad choices but don’t blame him for ruining lives ANONYMOUS if he had not sold anybody anything they would have called somebody else. I wonder if you even know what it’s like to be an addict not a little pot or one to many wine coolers. There was no gun to anyone’s head people are responsible for hurting themselves
