Police could not confirm what Gliddon was convicted of, but a previous Global News story from June 2016  indicated Gliddon  was a part of a scam that targeted seniors.

In a June 2, 2016 article, Gliddon was listed as one of three people charged after a senior citizen with Alzheimer’s paid over $8,500 for some renovations to his roof. Police said that work was never done.

In a related story published Feb. 24, 2015 police had warned Calgarians about some “phony contractors” who had allegedly entered homes to do an inspection and then stole some jewelry. They said one victim was an 81-year-old woman.

Anyone with information about Gliddon’s whereabouts is being asked to contact the CPS at 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers.
