NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – The District Attorney’s Office has filed a motion involving Metro council member Loniel Greene Jr, asserting he gave “untrue” statements at a court hearing and was involved in a scheme to coerce a victim involved in the case.

The motion seeks to revoke, increase or alter the conditions of bail set for a man named Tavares Buchanan.

Buchanan was arrested on Dec. 29 on charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful use of drug paraphernalia.

His bond was set at $102,500.

The district attorney’s motion states that a hearing was held on Jan. 6 to determine if the source of Buchanan’s bond money was directly or indirectly “derived from a criminal offense.”

During the hearing, Councilman Greene reportedly swore under oath “he intended to post [Buchanan’s] bond from funds contained in his own bank account and derived from his own income.”

Buchanan’s bond was approved and he was released from jail the same day.

However, the District Attorney’s Office says they’ve since gathered evidence in the form of calls Buchanan made from jail that show the “Court cannot be confident that the source of [Buchanan’s] bond did not derive from proceeds directly or indirectly derived from criminal activity.”

The motion says evidence also shows Buchanan is involved in a scheme to coerce the victim not to come to court.

The person on the other end of the line during these conversations was determined to be Councilman Greene, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

The DA says during their conversations, they discuss the bond money, referencing it being “stored somewhere, possibly in a garage, and Greene “clearly knows about the money and where the money is stored.”

As for other conversations reportedly recorded between the two men, the DA says they “provide sufficient reason to believe [Buchanan] has and most likely continues to engage in a scheme directed toward coercing the victim into not coming to court.”

“Included in that behavior is directing the person [on the phone] to communicate with the victim and even buy her dinner in an attempt to convince her not to continue to cooperate with the case against him,” the motion states.

During one call, Greene allegedly says to Buchanan, “But see, she gonna have to be shut down… Yeah, I’m gonna deal with her. If she willing to do this to you, to put the white folks to you… you don’t deserve this s#&^ here. Let me deal with this.”

Transcriptions of the phone calls provided in the motion also show Greene allegedly warns Buchanan not to say too much on the phone.

At one point he states, “Stop saying that… I’m telling you these phone calls are recorded.” And at another point, he reportedly states, “Don’t say too much on the phone.”

The district attorney says that due to these conversations and this evidence, they request the Court to revoke or, “in the alternative,” increase or alter the conditions of bail set Buchanan’s cases.

If Buchanan’s bond is not revoked, the District Attorney’s Office asks for a new bond source hearing to be set.

Councilman Greene does not face any charges. The motion is solely regarding Buchanan’s bond.

News 2 reached out to Greene for comment. His spokeswoman told News 2 Buchanan is a family member but Greene has no further comment at this time.
