Greene was charged with a handicap parking violation, reckless driving, driving on a suspended/revoked license and resisting a stop.
According to police, a parking enforcement officer, who is technically a citizen and not a police officer, approached Greene while his car was parked in a handicap spot in Frankin, Tenn., 20 miles outside of Nashville. Greene then got into his vehicle and drove around the officer’s automobile, almost hitting it. Greene was then chased down by law enforcement before speeding away again.
Sgt. Charles Warner spoke about the incident afterwards, stating the situation got out of control because of Greene’s actions throughout.
“The entire situation could have been avoided if he would have left that handicap space for who is was intended for,” Warner said. “The fact that he didn’t and got caught being parked there, he could have stopped things from going any further than a parking ticket if he would have simply communicated with the parking enforcement officer and not taken such evasive measures to get away from her, increasing the seriousness of what would have been a simple parking ticket.”
The Titans have not made any comment on the matter.
