the crime, but later testified that two JSO detectives, including Nat Glover's son Michael Glover, had physically attacked and coerced him into confessing. Butler was acquitted and the JSO and State Attorney's Office took the unusual step of apologizing to him. Michael Glover, who denied the allegation, retired from the Sheriff's Office to become a private investigator. Mayoral candidate and later life In 2003, Nat Glover ran for Mayor of Jacksonville but was defeated by Republican candidate John Peyton, in the most expensive mayoral race in Jacksonville's history. An African-American had never served as mayor in Jacksonville, until Alvin Brown's election on May 19, 2011. Glover's campaign focused on education, economic development, and managing the city's growth. "Jacksonville is poised for greatness.

In the summer of 2014, Glover was a finalist for the HBCU Digest male president of the year. In an interview with the Jacksonville Daily Record, Glover recounted his journey to become president of his
