Local Man's Bear Spray Incident Exposed as Part of Broader Pattern of Aggressive Behavior

A Houston man accused of using bear spray to attack a hotel contractor has been linked to multiple other incidents across the city, according to court records. Robert Edward Glasscock, 37, is now facing charges tied to similar incidents at Best Buy and Kroger, where he allegedly used chemical irritants on employees.

Glasscock's arrest occurred on Wednesday night at Club Quarters Hotel in downtown Houston, where investigators say he had been staying for several weeks. However, newly obtained court documents reveal that Glasscock has a history of using bear spray to harm others, including two women who claim they were attacked by him at Kroger and Best Buy.

Brittany Harris, one of the alleged victims, spoke publicly about her experience with Glasscock for the first time in an interview. According to Harris, she was sprayed with bear spray by Glasscock while shopping at a Kroger on Studemont Street last year. When asked what happened next, Harris recalled, "I said, 'What did you spray me?' - but I was cursing... Then it started getting stronger and stronger."

Glasscock allegedly groped a second woman at Kroger before quickly leaving the store to use the self-checkout line, where he was recorded on camera by another shopper. The video footage, along with a license plate taken down by an eyewitness, helped police track down Glasscock.

Harris also spoke about the lasting impact of the incident, saying "That was scary because I didn't know what it was, and it lingered forever." She added that she now "jump and react[hes] any time someone comes around me."

Court records show earlier this year that Glasscock was accused of spraying an employee at a Galleria-area Best Buy in August. The incidents highlight concerns about Glasscock's behavior, which his neighbors described as increasingly erratic over the past year.

Glasscock had been living in a Montrose patio home complex for over 15 years before moving into a hotel several months ago. His neighbors reported noticing changes in his behavior and pointed to social media posts that showed him talking about installing cameras outside his hotel room and sharing conspiracy theories about prominent figures like Elon Musk and Vladimir Putin.

Glasscock's alleged victim at the Club Quarters Hotel said he was simply there to refresh the hotel's plants when he began feeling a burning sensation. Glasscock was arrested on site, and is expected to appear in court soon.

omg what is wrong with this guy?? I mean i got no sympathy for him cuz he went from being some guy who just needed help 2 someone who cant even control himself!! Bear spray isnt a toy, its serious business, ur gonna hurt somebody & ur gonna get caught. and now we find out hes been doing this all along, @ Kroger & Best Buy too? That's like a whole other level of crazy! How many ppl gotta get hurt before someone takes him down?! his neighbors r right, hes been acting erratic 4 months now & social media was blowing up w/ weird posts. i dont think we can just let him slide 2 cuz "he needs help" when he's clearly got a serious issue w/ impulse control

 

[Grumpy]

Like what's going on with this guy? Bear spray incidents just keep popping up and no one seems to be doing anything about it. I've been following his case and it's wild how he's got a history of using that stuff to hurt people. The fact that he was living in the hotel for weeks without anyone noticing something was off is pretty concerning too... like, how many red flags were ignored?

 

[Worrisome Wild]

Ugh, this guy is like a real-life supervillain ! I mean, using bear spray on contractors, women at grocery stores... it's just insane! And the fact that he has a history of doing this stuff makes me wonder how many other people he's put in harm's way. The whole "he was just trying to refresh the hotel plants" excuse is laughable . And what's up with his social media posts about conspiracy theories? Is this guy for real?! I'm just glad that some of these women are speaking out and sharing their stories, but it's still so sad that they had to go through this trauma. Bear spray should never be used as a means of intimidation or attack!

 

[Underco]

omg u guys idk how this guy even got away 4 so long his behavior is super suspicious like how else could someone go from living normal life 2 spraying ppl w/ bear spray & groping them?? also those social media posts about installing cameras outside his hotel room sounds creepy as heck i'm glad the authorities were able to track him down tho, can't believe he was staying in a hotel for weeks just to refresh some plants lmao

 

[Space Bus]

omg this guy glasscock sounds like a total psycho bear spray is not a joke, that's crazy stuff... i don't get why people can just carry it around willy nilly... and what's up with all these other incidents? it's like he's got some kind of problem with people... i feel bad for the victims who had to deal with this... and those neighbors of his were totally right, something was off about him... anyway, glad police finally caught him

 

[In Search o]

I'm not buying into this "bear spray incident" drama. It sounds like just another case of someone getting caught for their own messed up behavior . What's wild is that these incidents are all tied together - same guy, same MO (or lack thereof). You'd think he'd learn from his mistakes, but instead, he's just escalating .

And let's be real, the fact that this guy was using bear spray on multiple people across different stores? That's some concerning stuff. What's even more alarming is how these incidents are all linked to him being a bit of a conspiracy theorist and talking about installing cameras outside his hotel room .

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve consequences for his actions, but I think we should be looking at the bigger picture here. Is this guy just a product of our society, or is there something more going on? It's like, what's driving people to act out in these ways?

 

[The Simpsons' Che]

You gotta wonder what drives someone to act like this . Bear spray as a weapon? That's just not normal behavior. And it gets even creepier when you see all these other incidents where he's used it to harm people. I mean, what's going through his mind? Is he really that unstable?

And the fact that his neighbors noticed changes in him over the past year, like posting conspiracy theories on social media... it's like a red flag waving in the air . You'd think someone would've reached out to authorities sooner. Now we're dealing with this chaos.

It's also sad to hear about the victim, Brittany Harris, and how it affected her . The impact of trauma is real, and it's not just physical harm that can be lasting. We need to make sure our communities are looking out for each other, especially when someone seems off the rails.

 

[Homel]

this guy's behavior is straight up concerning... bear spray attacks? come on! and now we're finding out he's got a history of using chemical irritants at other places too? that's just gross. I mean, what's next? is he gonna start using pepper spray in his fantasy football league arguments? seriously though, it's great that the authorities are taking action, but isn't it time someone takes him to therapy or something?

 

[Innocent Iguana]

I'm really disappointed in what's going down with this guy Robert Edward Glasscock . I mean, you've got someone using bear spray like it's a can of hairspray and spraying people without thinking about the consequences . And to make matters worse, he's been accused of doing the same thing at other stores, including Best Buy and Kroger. That's just not right.

I feel bad for the victims who had to go through that experience . It's scary enough to be attacked by someone without being caught off guard with a can of bear spray . And it's even scarier when you don't know what's happening or how to react .

As a society, we need to make sure we're looking out for each other and supporting those who've been affected by incidents like this . We should also be concerned about the bigger picture – is this guy just a one-off or are there more people out there with similar issues?

 

[Xerothermic X]

I'm telling you, this guy sounds like a total psycho ! First of all, who uses bear spray to attack people? And then it gets even worse, he's got a history of doing it at other places too... Best Buy, Kroger? Like, what is wrong with this dude?!

And the part where he allegedly gropes someone and then runs to use the self-checkout line? That's just disgusting . And poor Brittany Harris, she was literally attacked by him at Kroger and now she's always jumping out of her skin when someone comes near her... that's not cool .

I'm also getting a little creeped out by this guy's social media posts about installing cameras outside his hotel room and talking about conspiracy theories. Like, what does he want to hide from?

Anyway, I hope he gets caught and face some serious consequences for his actions... bear spray shouldn't be used as a weapon .

 

[Biblical]

This guy's antics are just wild ! Like, first it's bear spray, then they're trying out other chemical irritants... I'm not sure what's more concerning, the fact that he's been using this stuff or that his neighbors didn't think anything of him sharing conspiracy theories about Elon Musk and Vladimir Putin . It's like, dude, you're already living in a Montrose patio home complex – do you really need to be talking about building cameras outside your hotel room? Anyway, I hope the bear spray guy gets what's coming to him... or at least gets some anger management classes . And poor Brittany Harris – I feel bad for her .

 

[Ebony Sailo]

omg this guy's behavior is wild ! like what's going through his head, spraying bear spray at random ppl? it's not just the bear spray incidents either, he's got a history of being super aggressive and it's scary for those around him . his neighbors were like "dude's been acting weird" and now we know why . I'm glad they finally caught him though, justice will be served . and can you believe he was worried about cameras outside his hotel room? conspiracy theories are wild . this whole situation is just a major red flag for anyone who's ever interacted with him .

 

[Mega Man's Football 3D]

this guy's behavior is straight outta some bad action movie think about it, bear spray? That's like the ultimate stress release valve but nope, he's got issues for days. And what really gets me is that his neighbors are saying he was getting increasingly erratic over the past year... I mean, who needs that kind of tension in their life? at least he's not on social media to rub it in everyone's face these conspiracy theories about Elon Musk and Putin? dude, take a chill pill

 

[My First Viki]

you know what's wild? i just saw this guy who works at our local coffee shop and he's like a total bear spray expert lol. like, it's not even a joke anymore. anyway, back to this dude glasscock... what's up with these guys always using their canisters like they're in a bad action movie?

i was talking to my friend the other day and we were trying to figure out why some people are so into conspiracy theories. it's just not that interesting, right? i mean, have you seen those videos of bears spraying each other? it's just instinct, folks!

 

[The Harlem Gl]

This whole situation with Robert Edward Glasscock raises some disturbing questions about individual accountability for one's actions. It seems like his erratic behavior has been escalating over the past year, and his use of bear spray as a means to harm others suggests a pattern of aggressive tendencies.

The fact that he's been living in a hotel room for several months doesn't necessarily suggest a lack of responsibility on his part, but rather a possible symptom of deeper issues. It's also worth noting that social media posts revealing his conspiracy theories and plans to install cameras outside his hotel room don't paint him as some kind of harmless eccentric.

The impact on the victims, particularly Brittany Harris, is undeniable and heartbreaking. The fact that she now "jumps and reacts" whenever someone approaches her highlights the long-term effects of trauma and suggests a need for more comprehensive support systems in place to help individuals like Glasscock manage their behavior.

Ultimately, this case serves as a reminder that our actions have consequences, not just for ourselves, but also for those around us.

 

[Motionless Malla]

this guy sounds super sketchy his behavior is getting out of control & it's only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt... i mean, using bear spray as a weapon is insane & now we're finding out he's got a history of doing this to multiple people at different stores? that's just not okay his neighbors were warning people about him months ago too, but no one did anything social media posts talking about cameras and conspiracy theories... red flag alert anyone else think he should be behind bars ASAP?

 

[Viking Mall Ultra]

I don’t usually comment but... have you guys ever noticed how some people can just be super unpredictable? Like, one minute they're chillin' and the next they're causin' all kinds of drama? It's like, Robert Edward Glasscock's whole thing is just so... wild. I mean, bear spray at a hotel? Grocery store altercations? He's got some serious issues, dude. And it's not just that he's aggressive, but like, what's goin' on in his head? Is this guy for real?

And what's crazy is how he was just livin' his best life, right? No problems, no issues... until someone messes with him, I guess. It's like, we should be worried about each other, not just our own stuff. Anyway, gotta say, I'm a little shook by all this.

 

[National Lamp]

ugh i cant believe how these forums are always so slow to pick up on this kind of thing . like robert glasscock has been making headlines for using bear spray as a form of intimidation and assault for months now, but its not until someone gets physically attacked that the police start getting involved? its just not fair to the victims who have been suffering through these incidents.

and can we talk about how our forums never seem to take down these kinds of profiles? like glasscock had a history of aggressive behavior on social media and still managed to move freely without anyone noticing . it feels like no one is doing enough to keep the community safe and accountable.

anyway, i just want to say that i hope glasscock gets the help he needs, but also that our forums need to do better at keeping us safe

 

[Smoggy S]

So, this guy Glasscock, 37, thinks it's okay to carry around bear spray and just start spraying people for no reason? Like what's next, pepper spray or a gun? I mean, I get that he had some issues with his neighbors talking about him on social media, but that doesn't give him the right to hurt people. And what's up with these women who claim they were attacked by him at Kroger and Best Buy? Did they just happen to be walking around with bear spray handy too? Anyway, it's good that he got caught and now he's facing charges, but I hope he gets some help for whatever mental health issues he might have.
