The Yellowstone County Attorney’s Office has agreed to drop felony theft charges against Glenn Fournier, owner of Metric Wrench, if he pays $6,000 to a customer whose vehicle he was accused of taking to a salvage yard and writes the customer a letter of apology.
The charges were filed shortly after Fournier, an Evangelical pastor and former longtime leader of the Montana Rescue Mission, announced he was moving his business to the Heights because of downtown crime.
Montana Rescue Mission program director Glenn Fournier peers into a closet that was once a meeting office at the Montana Rescue Mission on Minnesota Avenue in 2016. Fournier moved the donated clothes during the flood in order to preserve them from moisture and mold.
The customer, Andre Linwood, had taken his 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380 to the Metric Wrench in December 2022, paying $2,000 upfront. The car was still in the shop a year later, supposedly waiting for a part. Linwood maintains that he had remained in contact with the shop throughout that time and that he has phone records to prove it.
