Kenneth Sharpton Glasgow, a Dothan minister and half-brother of the Rev. Al Sharpton, pleaded not guilty in federal court Wednesday following his indictment on federal drug charges.

Glasgow, 56, was charged in Dothan federal court on one count of conspiracy to distribute drugs amid allegations he and another, unnamed suspect distributed cocaine, WDHN reported.

Court records showed that Glasgows case had originally been under seal. A judge removed the seal Wednesday, but records were not yet publicly available.

Glasgow, a prisoners rights activist and the half-brother of civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton, pleaded not guilty during his arraignment Wednesday.

The Dothan pastor had previous legal troubles, including an arrest on capital murder charges in 2018 in the death of Breunia Jennings, 23, who was shot in the head in Dothan.

Prosecutors said man who was a passenger in Glasgows vehicle shot Jennings.

A federal grand jury determined there was insufficient evidence to proceed with a case against Glagow on the capital murder charge, which was then dropped.

In 2020, Glasgow allegedly bit the finger of a Dothan police officer who was trying to take what authorities said was crack cocaine from Glasgows mouth.
