When Green expelled the baggie from his mouth, there was “a green tint to his saliva.”

During the struggle, Green pushed “a white object into the ground.” Officers found that object, which tested positive for cocaine, underneath the spot where the struggle occurred.

Green was booked into the Macon County Jail, where he is being held on $31,500 bond.

At the time of his arrest, he was out on bond. He posted $1,500 cash Nov. 22 after his arrest the previous day with about 1½ ounces of marijuana. In that case, police following a tip from parole agents found marijuana in his residence in the 1300 block of East Hickory. Green admitted that the marijuana was his, as well as a digital scale.

Green, who has five prior criminal convictions, was released from the Illinois Department of Corrections Sept. 25, after serving 9½ months of a five-year sentence. In that case, he was originally charged with six felonies, including Class X aggravated vehicular hijacking, robbery and aggravated battery for forcing his grandmother into a car Dec. 7 and driving her to a credit union to draw money from her account.
