A North Carolina county official has surrendered to authorities Monday on an assault charge, Fox 8 reported.
Wilkes County Commissioner Stoney Scott Greene surrendered to authorities on assault charges as calls for his resignation intensified. Greene voluntarily turned himself in at the Wilkes County Magistrate’s Office, facing charges of assaulting a female and domestic criminal trespassing. He was released on a $1,500 bond, according to Fox 8.
This incident adds to a series of controversies surrounding Greene, who has been under scrutiny due to a past indictment related to a dogfighting event over two decades ago. Reports from the Wilkes Journal-Patriot reveal that on Oct. 27, 2001, Greene was one of 43 people arrested during a dogfight in a local warehouse in New Jersey. An article from the Asbury Park Press dated June 27, 2002, named Greene as a participant, resulting in animal cruelty charges.
