Lawyer Shot, Arrested After Attempting To Rob Armored Car – Above the Law

An
Arkansas
lawyer
was
arrested
last
week
after
allegedly
attempting
to
rob
an
armored
car
outside
of
a
Bank
of
America
in
Little
Rock.
Chad
Green,
the
accused
attorney,
was
shot
in
the
process,
but
managed
to
hop
onto
his
getaway
bicycle
and
pedal
away
as
he
attempted
to
evade
law
enforcement.

The

Arkansas
Times

has
the
details:

The
police
report
states
John
Martin,
an
employee
of
Loomis
Armored
Services,
was
servicing
an
ATM
outside
the
Bank
of
America
location
on
Geyer
Springs
Road
just
before
8
a.m.
Wednesday
when
Green
approached
him.

Mr.
Martin
stated
the
white
male
subject
immediately
sprayed
him
with
mace
several
times,
so
he
pulled
his
service
weapon
and
fired
a
couple
shots
at
the
subject.
Mr.
Martin
stated
the
subject
went
to
the
ground
and
was
yelling,
but
within
a
few
seconds
the
suspect
hopped
onto
his
bicycle
and
fled
west
toward
the
woods.

Despite
fleeing
the
scene
on
a
bicycle,
Green
apparently
had
a
getaway
vehicle
nearby.
A
short
time
later,
state
police
located
Green
on
the
shoulder
of
I-430
near
Rodney
Parham
Road.
Green
told
the
officers
he
had
been
shot,
he
was
taken
to
a
local
hospital
for
medical
attention,
and
his
vehicle
“was
towed
to
the
crime
scene
bay
for
processing,”
police
said.

Green
was
taken
to
a
nearby
hospital
and
was
listed
as
being
in
stable
condition.

Local
NBC
affiliate

was
able
to
speak
to
people
who
know
Green,
who
said
this
sort
of
behavior
was
“out
of
character”
for
him,
and
that
his
family
and
friends
had
been
“concerned
about
his
state
of
mind”
prior
to
the
attempted
robbery.

It
seems
that
Green,
a
criminal
defense
attorney,
may
now
need
his
own
criminal
defense
attorney.
Best
of
luck
to
him
as
he
navigates
the
other
side
of
the
legal
system.
