"A former LAPD officer was able to fly in and out of the country several times and live freely in Southern California for more than a year despite an active warrant for his arrest in the 2015 killing of a homeless man, according to his defense attorney and L.A. County prosecutors leading his pending murder case. A grand jury indicted Clifford Proctor, 60, in September 2024, after the district attorney's office reopened an investigation into the shooting death of Brendon Glenn."
"Proctor shot Glenn, 29, twice in the back during an attempted arrest in 2015 in Venice Beach. Glenn was unarmed. Proctor, who resigned from the LAPD in 2017, was not arrested until last October, when he was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at Los Angeles International Airport. Law enforcement sources previously told The Times that Proctor was returning to the country from an international flight when CBP arrested him on the murder warrant."
"But in a November court filing, Proctor's defense attorney, Tom Yu, provided exhibits and sworn statements showing his client had been in the U.S. and was planning to depart the country on the day he was arrested. Travel documents included as an exhibit in a court filing show Proctor was scheduled to fly from Los Angeles to Panama City on Oct. 16, 2025."
A former LAPD officer faced an active arrest warrant connected to the 2015 killing of Brendon Glenn, who was shot twice in the back and was unarmed. A grand jury indicted Clifford Proctor in September 2024 after prosecutors reopened the investigation. Proctor resigned from the LAPD in 2017 and was not arrested until October when U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained him at Los Angeles International Airport. Defense filings include sworn statements and travel documents showing Proctor remained in the U.S., planned departures, and made multiple trips to Trinidad after the indictment. The defense asserts Proctor was unaware of the warrant until his arrest.
