Ferndale Police: Teen ‘poked’ boy in chest with hunting knife in assault

FERNDALE — A teen accused of swinging a hunting knife at a 14-year-old boy before poking him in the chest with the blade was arrested Wednesday afternoon, May 23.

Darcy James Glenman, 18, was arguing with the boy outsideĀ about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday near the Ferndale Boys & Girls Club, in theĀ 2000 block of Cherry Street, said Ferndale Police Lt. Matt Huffman.

Glenman thought the boy had stolen marijuana, so he pulled out a hunting knife and swung at him two or three times, Huffman said.

When police spoke to the boy, he had a “little, tiny” mark on his chest from when Glenman had “poked” him with the knife, Huffman said. He had apparently pressed the blade against the boy, but didn’t actually break the skin.

Police contacted Glenman the following afternoon. He was booked into Whatcom County Jail on investigation of second-degree assault. The knife wasn’t recovered.

Glenman had an extensive record in juvenile court, including guilty pleas for fourth-degree assault and possession of a dangerous weapon.

In 2010, an off-duty police officer spotted him waving a butterfly knife and a switchblade at the corner of Vista Drive and Washington Street.

    You may think Darcy glenman just poked at the 14 year old boy, though this is more than that. Darcy glenman is a serious and dangerous person. He was not just poking at the boy he was threating him as well. Oh by the way the knife is about 10 inches to a foot long weapon used and sold for huntig,killing!! Of animals. Oh also the 14year old boy had nothing to with that ounce of pot begin stolen. We need to be aware of dangerous darcy.He is a huge risk for flight, he should NOT be allowed to set bail, you do the crime you do the time. I would wounder how the city would think and feel if they allowed dangerous darcy out hmmmm murder next

    Well said Frogman. I’m sure there are other victims out there that have just not come forward. Prison will be his life!

    Countrywoman maybe we can get your help to spread this story to all the people you know we as a society have a voice to bring to the public. We all can. I believe in incarceration before rehabilitaion. Dangerous darcy needs to sit and think for many years and only if he can demonstrate good behaviour then he also needs therapy individual and group levels while in prison. Upon successful treatment ie complete honesty, takes ownership of his action, polygraphs during and after treatment all while locked up. Then and only then should the parol board consider him eligable. I hope the victim of this case will be heard in court and the victims parents. Press on with more comments countrywoman ask your friends,family etc to post society needs voices that say this man dangerous darcy should only be locked up. I mean if they lock people up driving with a suspended drivers license then dangerous darcy is a perfect inmate.

    My post says countrywoman it should say countrymom

    Frogman back ,looking back i forgot a few things about dangerous darcy. One a mistake is taking a left lets say on 14th ave and instead made a left on 14th ln. That is a mistake. A WRONG is pulling A HUNTING KNIFE with the premeditated intention of causing bodily harm or death. Oh let me make a simple mistake by saying darcy lawyer will say that darcy made a mistake .oh yes at your hard paying legal taxes. Not the drug dealing taxes!

    This kid is my old neighbor he stood a snowflake’s chance in hell of growing up normal. Sad thing. Hope that the 14 year old is ok.

  12. frogman on said:

    Msunderstood this is the common process of many people who like the statement made by you enable people like dangerous darcy to justify his actions. You say that because you have a personal relationship. Think outside of the box. Maybe your thoughts and feelings would change if that 14 year old boy was yours. Please if you want to justify a serious crime then maybe You need to look a victim panel Of dead people. Yes maybe darcy bad a hard time in life does that answer his role in commiting violent crimes over and over. No way look at the latest on the news teen boys kill another boy over the same dam thing pot. It will one day be dangerous darcy on the news killing someone. We need to send him to prison. He needs to know he cannot go on taken life on with serious violent acts. If you have kids or a loved one that dangerous darcy took on to add another notch on his rap sheet would you keep on enabling his wrong actions. ?

    this so called dangers darcy is in fact my brother yes he need to sataten up his life but this gives none of you the right to talk about him in a bad way expecialy when you dont know him…or know what really happend no i was not there when this happend but yes i do know for a fact he would never do such a thing! theres two people saying he did this one wasent there and one was the 14 year old then there comes all of the other people that were there they all said it never happend they all have the same storry besides the two others they are just trying to get him in trouble and they dont understand if it was one of there family members thnat they would be pritty upset aswell. oh and by the way my brother will be getting out on the 11th or the 23 of july.that 14 year old should be the one locked up lieing and trying to have someone locked up for what they have not done should not be ok. i have a little boy that will be turning 3 months soon and because of that 14 year old my brother has not held or seen him without being through a darn windo.
