Thanks to a follower for finding this: Her name is Venus Green.
In July 2009, Greenās grandson, Tallie, was shot and wounded. Tallie said he was shot at a convenience store, but police insisted it happened inside Greenās house and that the shooter was either Tallie or Green.
āPolice kept questioning him. They wouldnāt let the ambulance attendant treat him,ā Green said. āSo, I got up and said, āSir, would you please let the attendants treat him? Heās in pain,āā Green said.
Green said the officer said to her, āOh, you did it, come on, letās go inside. Iāll prove where that blood is. You did it.ā
Police wanted to go the basement, where Tallie lived, but Green refused on the basis that the police did not have a warrant.
āI said, āNo, you donāt have a warrant. You donāt go down in my house like that. He wasnāt shot in here.āā Green said the officer replied, āIām going to find that gun. Iām going to prove that you did it.ā
A struggle ensued between a male officer and Green.
āHe dragged me, threw me across the chair, put handcuffs on me and just started calling me the ābā name. He ridiculed me,ā Green said.
An officer went into the basement and Green locked him inside.
āShe locked the door, the basement door. She basically took matters into her own hands,ā Nilson said.
āThis was my private home, and if I latched it, that was my prerogative because he had no search warrant to go in my basement. So, I had to right to latch it,ā Green said.
Green said she suffered a separated shoulder in the scuffle, and she sued the Police Department for assault and violations of her rights.
āI was once a block watcher, department head of a high school. (Iāve) been around education for over 50 years. (Iām a) law-abiding citizen, Iāve never been arrested, I paid my taxes, owned my home, my husband died 34 years ago. (I) raised my son and I have been brutally abused,ā Green said. āI feel like the Police Department needs to go back to school.ā
