Facing charges after an alleged incident at the Pettis County Jail on November 14, 2021, an inmate has a court proceeding scheduled.

A probable-cause statement says by reviewing jail surveillance video authorities say they observed a female officer open a cell, and Amber Green came out and removed the pepper spray off the body of the officer and ran toward the exit. 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.

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.

Green was indicted by a Grand Jury on February 8. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 1, at Pettis County Circuit Court.
