Body Found In Shallow Grave East Of Jay At Home Where Deputies Shot Man In October

December 17, 2018

Human remains have been located at a residence east of Jay, where deputies shot a man that threatened them with a crossbow in October.

The remains were located Sunday in a shallow grave in a wooded area behind a residence at 7796 Highway 4. Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson said Monday that the remains are believed to be those of Felecia Kuswandy, who was reported missing May 28.

“The last spot she was seen alive is the spot where we are executing the search warrant right now,” Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson. He said the woman did not live at the address, but may have stayed there.

On October 20, deputies responded to the home where they were forced to shoot 26-year old Glen Dillon Phillips who pointed a crossbow at them. Johnson did not discuss the incident during a Monday afternoon press conference, but documentation from the State Attorney’s Office confirms the address is the same as that where the body was found.

Phillips is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and three counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, but he has not been named a suspect in connection with the discovery of the body.

The October incident began when the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Officer received a call from a man that said Phillips was threatening to kill him with the crossbow. Phillips refused to exit the Highway 4 residence for over an hour after deputies arrived.

Officers eventually made entry into the residence where they found Phillips naked and armed with a crossbow, according to a Florida Department of Law Enforcement report. He then pointed the crossbow at the deputies, with a deputy firing a single shot that struck Phillips under the right armpit.

Three days later, Phillips told investigators that he was naked on the floor, praying to his “Earth and native God.” He advised that he pointed the crossbow at deputies, but once they identified themselves as law enforcement he threw the crossbow onto a couch before he was shot.

He said “that he believed that people or aliens may be coming to take a meteorite he had previously located because he believed it was worth a lot of money,” the FDLE report states.

He told officers that he had not used narcotics before the incident. However, his hospital records indicate that he tested positive for amphetamines, cannabinoids, and benzodiazepines. During a subsequent television interview with WEAR 3, Phillips said he had been using methamphetamine before the incident.
