BRUNDIDGE: 06:58 AM This morning numerous Federal Agents surrounded the residence of Brundidge Police Chief Samuel Green.
RSN, via TEXT RICKEY 334-790-1729, began receiving messages that numerous law enforcement officers had surrounded the police chief’s residence. We have learned that Federal auhorities have arrested the police chief, his wife and another relative, taking them into federal custody.
Apparently they have been transported to Montgomery Alabama, all in handcuffs. They will appear before a United States Magistrate Judge at the Federal Courthouse in Montgomery for an arraignment.
While RSN does not know all of the facts, this arrest is to do with COVID Money. Accusations are that several hundreds of thousands of federal dollars were alleged to have been taken during the COVID pandemic.
Green was unanimously appointed as Brundidge Police Department in 2021.
Green has a total of 24 years in law enforcement. He has been with the BPD for five years and has served with the Montgomery Police Department 10 years and the Pike County Sheriff’s Department, six years. He also served at a parole officer for the state three years.
UPDATE:
Green, 50; Sharon Jones Green, 53; and Schemillia Levera Fenn, 40 were indicated by a Montgomery grandy jury for allegedly participating in a scheme to defraud the U.S. government.
The indictment accuses the trio of illegally obtaining funds though the Emergency Rental Assistance Program, designed to help people with rent and utility bills during the pandemic.
Green faces 13 charges, including conspiracy to commit money laundering, wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Sharon Green faces nine charges, and Fenn faces one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
All three are in custody and are expected to appear in federal court later today.
