UPDATE 12/20/17 @ 9:45 p.m.

A man accused of holding another man at knifepoint and streaming it on Facebook was back in court Wednesday.

Justin Green pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding and fleeing with reckless indifference.

In May, Green threatened a man with a knife and forced him to drive at high speeds down Corridor G while broadcasting it on Facebook live -- leading to a four-county police chase.

Green faces one to five years for each charge when he's sentenced in January.

UPDATE 11/16/17 @ 3:55 p.m.

A man accused of holding another man at knifepoint and making him drive at high speeds is waiting on an indictment.

Justin Green was back in court Thursday, asking for bond, but the judge denied it. Green remains in jail.

Green faces charges after the incident in May when state police troopers say a Facebook live stream by Green brought their attention to the incident along Corridor G (U.S. 119).

It was a four-county chase before the victim was able to purposely wreck the car.

UPDATE 5/9/17 @ 5:45 p.m.

MINGO COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Social media helped West Virginia troopers find a man being held at knifepoint and forced to drive miles of Corridor G and Route 119.

More than 50 minutes of the incident was broadcast on Facebook Live, using the victim's cellphone.

Thousands may have witnessed the crime unfold. Troopers say if not for those videos, they may never had known something was wrong.

A series of eight Facebook live videos start innocent enough. State police said the victim was willingly taking Justin Green to Charleston from Boone County on Monday.

But partway through, the tone changes.

"Just chill a freaking minute, dude,” the victim said on camera. “Hold up. For real, please. Dude, don't. Don't.

That type of conversation led his mother to call police, which found the videos themselves and started the pursuit.

The man told troopers later he was sure he was going to die. Green told him several times he was going to put him in a body bad and make him famous.

"Dude, I ain't done nothing to you. Don't, no no no no no," the victim said. “Why me?”

The response from the suspect, “Shut the (expletive) up."

We're not telling you the victim's name, but we can tell you he's a 36-year-old man from Boone County. He also is Facebook friends with Green’s alias, who streamed the videos live.

The victim was just a year or two behind Boone County resident Jessie Dotson in school.

"I was worried if he was alright,” Dotson said. “They are bad things that happen around here, but I never dreamed it would be anything like this."

Like everyone else, Dotson said he heard about it through Facebook.

Police started the pursuit in Kanawha County near Southridge. It continued through Boone, Logan and Mingo counties before the victim slammed on his brakes in a rolling road block, causing a wreck which ended it all on U.S. 119 in Mingo County, just south of Route 65.

"Too close to home,” Dotson said. “Shouldn't have happened. Shouldn't be on Facebook like that."

The victim was stabbed in his leg at the very end of the pursuit, along with injuries to his neck, wrist and arm. But nothing is expected to be life threatening.

"Glad to know he was alright,” Dotson said. “Pretty worried about him."

The victim's family declined to make a comment to us Tuesday.

Green is at the Southwestern Regional Jail, facing several charges including attempted murder and possession with intent to deliver. Bond has been set at $75,000.

Troopers found a large amount of meth, some marijuana and a folding knife with a 3-inch blade in the vehicle.

UPDATE 5/8/17 @ 11:25 p.m.

LOGAN, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A suspect is in custody and the victim is in the hospital, too, after a police chase that involved at least a dozen members of West Virginia State Police.

Troopers say the victim took the suspect to Charleston. That is when the passenger, who is now the suspect in the case, held a knife and a needle to the driver making him drive. Troopers described the pair as acquaintances.

Part of the incident, which troopers say appears to be drug related, was broadcast on Facebook Live.

Without that live broadcast, troopers say they may have never known the driver was in trouble.

State police say Justin Green faces multiple charges including possession with intent, attempted murder and malicious wounding.

The victim/driver was able to avoid several spike strips that were set up along Corridor G during the four-county chase.

Troopers were able do to a rolling roadblock, and the chase ended near the Lenore exit in Mingo County.

"When the guy slammed on the brakes, the other guy just went and just started wailing at him with the knife," WVSP Sgt. John C. Dotson said. "He's got defensive wounds on his hands from the knife, trying to block it, and he's got a puncture wound in his right leg."

Both the victim and Green are being treated at Logan Regional Medical Center with relatively minor injuries.

According to WVSP, the victim has some defensive wounds on his hands and some stab wounds on his thigh and under chin.

Green was injured in the crash.

WVSP made the arrest with help of the Logan Police Department and several other agencies. At least one cruiser was damaged as a result of the pursuit.
