A press release by the federal prosecutor’s office says Green will serve 14 years of the new sentence after he completes that 21-year sentence. The press release says Green committed the robberies in an attempt to pay off a drug debt.

“On Dec. 17, 2017, Green brandished a firearm and robbed the Walgreen’s Pharmacy on Hoover Ave. in Dayton. Later that same day, Green again brandished a firearm and robbed a Sunoco gas station on Wayne Ave. in Dayton,” the prosecutor’s office said. “Two days later, Green robbed Falb’s Restaurant on Kiser Street in Dayton. After ordering a hamburger, Green pointed his handgun at the owner and demanded the owner enter the safe. When another customer entered the restaurant, distracting Green, the owner pulled out his gun and fired two shots at Green. Green attempted to shoot the owner but the safety was on his firearm.”
The release says the owner’s brother arrived and also shot at Green. Green was struck and later staged a robbery so he could appear to be a victim before getting medical care, federal prosecutors said.

Green also robbed four Dollar General stores and a Loan Max, the prosecutor’s office said.
In federal court, he ultimately pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery and two counts of brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.
U.S. Attorney David DeVillers said in a statement that the streets are safer with Green locked up.
“Green’s actions were drastic and reckless, and but for his arrest, Green confessed that he likely would have engaged in murder to save himself and his family from the drug dealer he owed money,” he said. “Green brandished a loaded firearm over and over at various locations for small amounts of money. This office will not tolerate gun violence and will prosecute it accordingly.”
