Taalibe A. Glover

The planned arraignment for a suspected narcotics trafficker was canceled Monday when he had to be removed from a Butler courtroom because of an outburst.

The defendant, Taalibe A. Glover, 23, of Wilkinsburg, Allegheny County, began yelling his displeasure with a decision by District Judge William Fullerton.

After being taken to a conference room in back of the courtroom, authorities said, the defendant started banging his head against a wall. Glover's antics earned him a quick return to the Butler County Prison, where his unruly behavior continued.

Authorities said he damaged a prison elevator with more head banging. Glover was eventually taken to the behavior modification unit and confined to a padded cell. Glover has been in the prison on $100,000 bail since Oct. 10, when he was arrested after allegedly selling heroin to a police informant at the Greater Butler Mart in Butler Township.
