"I drove by, I saw the police at a house and I didn't have access to enter because the place was closed," said Martha Leonard, a resident of the area. "I was so surprised to see it closed because nothing has ever happened here. I have lived here for about 25 years and nothing like this, a crime of this kind, has ever happened."
Green was later located by detectives and was arrested without incident.
He was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center where he is facing charges of armed home invasion and aggravated assault, and was being held without bond.
Jail records showed he's on probation on an aggravated battery with a deadly weapon charge. Attorney information wasn't available.
