It Ain’t Easy For Glen After Fire
posted (September 1, 2015)
Well known street operator Goldburn "Easy Glen" Adolphus… he made our newscast last month after being charged with assaulting a police officer. His woes worsened this weekend when the house he was renting burnt down.

Adolphus took us to the location of the rubble and scorch marks where his home used to be and told us why he's hoping that you will help him and his family to get back on their feet:

Goldburn "Easy Glen" Adolphus, Fire Victim
"First thing of all the house is not mine. I am renting. This happened Friday night, I would say at around 9:30 - 10:00. When I came home I saw smoke coming from the top. But I wasn't paying it any attention. I just went and look underneath the cement block and pick up my key and open the padlock. When I pull open the door there was fire coming on me and when I look the entire hall was full of fire. Then I look towards the front room, because you could see the front room, but the amount of fire and heat that was coming from there - I made an attempt to go in there and so forth, because I have a stash under the marley that I saved. I couldn't get in there and so I yelled for my neighbor and thing and try help with one-one bucket of water. That couldn't work. All our appliances for my wife and I, all of that got destroyed."

"How much would you estimate the damage?"

Goldburn "Easy Glen" Adolphus, Fire Victim
"I don't know the cost of the house and so forth, but our appliances and things that we had, I would say at least to about $13,000 - $15,000."

Daniel Ortiz
"So where are you and your wife staying right now?"

Goldburn "Easy Glen" Adolphus, Fire Victim
"Well right now, she is at her mother and I am by a family member as well. All that I am trying to do is get back myself on track, in terms of my clothes and my personal stuff like my social security card and stuff."

Daniel Ortiz
"Are you appealing to those in the public to assist you if they can?"

Goldburn "Easy Glen" Adolphus, Fire Victim
"Like LOVE FM and I am asking anyone if they can help me."

But, as with anything related to Easy Glen, we had to make sure that he isn't involved in trying to pull a fast one for a quick "come up". We asked him straight up if he is in anyway connected with his own house burning down. Here's how he responded:

Goldburn "Easy Glen" Adolphus, Fire Victim
"Just like the other day, if you could recall I had lately got into something even with a police. Therefore they had paid an amount of money for me when I got arrested because of owing the court. Now I, Easy Glenn you would say is crazy man, who I know you are a sergeant or a corporal and they just paid court for me, because of owing the court - and I am going to look for you the next day and assault you. I am just showing you that I am not a crazy man and things like these - that I work for and saved for - I would not destroy my own things. Let me tell you something, to start with, I am not a beggar to say that I want people to be sorry for me. I don't need money or so forth. All I want to do is get back my things that I had and wife things. I don't need to pull stunts."

If you would like to assist Easy Glen, you can reach him at telephone number 662-5128.
