A woman who was stalking a popular Northern California blues musician plowed her Prius into an officer after being booted from a Sebastopol nightclub, police said — but on Sunday the singer said he refuses to let the incident “spoil our good time.”

“Our fans should know that we’ve taken all the necessary steps to ensure a safe and joyful concert experience for all,” Jackie Greene said in a statement. “Random acts of violence happen. So do random acts of kindness. Let us focus on the latter."

The fracas unfurled Friday night when the prolific singer-songwriter — who has toured with members of the Grateful Dead and was recently with the Black Crowes — was playing a solo concert at the HopMonk Tavern on Petaluma Avenue.

The guitar player’s manager recognized an unwanted guest at the show named Morgan Greene, a 48-year-old Fremont resident.

“Greene had been at the tavern, and was reported to have been stalking a member of the band,” Sebastopol police said. “Staff had asked her to leave multiple times, but she refused.”

Morgan Greene is not related to the bluesman, but she apparently changed her last name to his. The name change was only one of several examples of bizarre behavior by the woman.

The Santa Rosa Press Democrat spoke to another Jackie Greene fan who said the woman has been following the singer for years. At previous concerts, she has even set up candlelit shrines near the stage, handed out flowers and, in one instance, danced around a shrine of what appeared to be skulls, the woman told the paper.

Morgan Greene dodged security several times that evening before employees finally got her out of the club around 9:44 p.m.

“It was pretty calm,” said Bill DeCarli, general manager at HopMonk Tavern. “We have a great staff and pulled her out the side door. We were asked that we remove her, and that’s what we did.”

While on the phone with police, an employee at the bar followed the woman to her silver Toyota Prius in the parking lot.

When police showed up and tried to talk to Morgan Greene, she started her car, hit reverse and backed into an officer. The officer, who was not seriously injured, shouted at the woman to stop, but instead, she sped away eastbound on Highway 12, police said.

Another officer flipped on the sirens and pursued the driver, who would not stop, police said. A red light, though, proved to be the undoing of Morgan Greene. When she stopped at Fulton road, officers jumped out of their police cruisers and ordered her out of the Prius, police said.

When the woman refused to acknowledged them, police busted out her driver’s side window, pulled her out of the car and handcuffed her.

Morgan Greene was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer, evading police and resisting police.

She was taken to a hospital because she said glass got in her eye when the window was smashed. She was checked out and booked in jail on $50,000 bail.

An officer who was responding to the earlier chase collided with another vehicle in Santa Rosa. The driver was taken to the hospital and later released. The officer was not injured.
