According to recent reports, Glidden has been released on bail and has entered a plea of not guilty, requesting a jury trial to contest the allegations.
Details of the Arrest and Charges
As per reports from PEOPLE, Glidden was arrested by authorities in Miami, Florida, on April 12.

Background on the Case and Lisa Hochstein's Involvement
The report also reveals that both Lisa Hochstein and Jody Glidden were listed as co-defendants in a separate case from March, though few specifics were provided. It is alleged that they were under investigation for intercepting oral statements made by Hochstein's ex-husband, Leonard 'Lenny' Hochstein, between March 12, 2023, and March 31, 2023.
A statement from the report indicated that the duo "did unlawfully and intentionally intercept, endeavor to intercept, or procure another person to intercept or endeavor to intercept ... oral statements by Leonard Hochstein."
