A neighbor pulled Wesley’s 3-year- old son, who was also inside the burning apartment, out to safety, Conrad said.
The boy was released from a local hospital in good condition, but Conrad
did not say with whom the boy is staying.
Conrad did not specify how McGlown is allegedly tied to Wesley’s death
but said additional charges are expected to be filed against him as autopsy results and case findings are pending a review by the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office.
McGlown was arrested Friday at a location in the 1000 block of Latham
Avenue in Hemet, jail records showed.
