An inmate at the Pettis County Jail who is facing charges after an alleged incident at the prison on November 14 has a court proceeding scheduled.
According to a probable-cause statement, authorities say by reviewing jail surveillance video, they observed a female officer open a cell, and Amber Green came out of the cell and removed the pepper spray off the body of the officer and ran toward the exit. The officer lost her radio en route to trying to stop Green. During the officer’s attempt to retrieve her pepper spray and gain control of Green, Green was seen fighting with the officer- punching the officer and banging her head on concrete walls in booking. The officer managed to get the pepper spray and had to strike Green to try to get Green to comply, which did not work. Another inmate stepped in to help the officer to gain control of Green.
The officer was advised to seek medical advice from the local emergency room.
Court documents say Green, of Sedalia, is charged with a felony for possession of a weapon at a county jail and a misdemeanor for fourth-degree assault. Bond remains at $50,000 cash or surety. A request for bond reduction was denied by the court on December 14.
Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 1, at Pettis County Circuit Court.
