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.
DOTHAN: On Tuesday, March 11, 2025 in a special called board meeting of the Dothan City School Board, in a split 4 to 3 vote, qualifications for the new Dothan School Superintendent passed.
Not one single member of the Dothan City School Board, the governing body of your children’s education, admitted to having the qualifications drafted. According to School Board Chairman Scott Childers, he did not and did not know who did. Current Dothan City School Superintendent Dr. Dennis Coe made it clear he did not draft the document. But that did not stop Dothan City School Board Members Brett Strickland, Melanie Hill, Franklin Jones, and Brenda Guilford from voting in favor of the qualifications for those wishing to apply for Dothan School Superintendent.
With these four votes, they urinated straight in the face of every teacher and principal in the Dothan City School System. Because two requirements, a PHD doctorate – which some have, but in addition they must have experience as a School Superintendent.
IT IS OBVIOUS these four board members never had any experience as a School Board Member until they were elected. Of the four, Brenda Guilford is the only one who has worked in a school system. She owns Brenda’s Preparatory School in Dothan. At the Preparatory School she manages a childcare facility that employs a “small staff” and serves about 100 children. Brett Strickland does not send his children to Dothan City Schools, Melanie Hill does not have any children in Dothan City Schools, and Franklin Jones does not appear that he knows where Dothan even is.
Dothan School Board Chairman Scott Childers, Amy Bonds and Aurie Jenkins all opposed the qualifications in the unknown document.
Get you some popcorn, and some nausea medicine, and you can watch AS THE STOMACH TURNS IN THE DOTHAN CITY SCHOOLS. And if employed by the system, you can now see firsthand who supports you and who does not support each of you teachers and principals.
