Additional warrants for trafficking fentanyl 4-14 grams, possession of MDMA/ecstasy, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, and possession with intent to distribute controlled substances in proximity to a school or park (Southside Early Childhood Education Center) were served.

Greene is being held without bond.

“The narcotics task force continues to build solid drug cases based on information received from the public and evidence they develop during these investigations,” said Sheriff Barry Faile in a press release. “From the transactions and the charges made during this investigation, it is obvious Greene has been selling a good bit of illegal drugs. I am happy we were able to make all these charges, get a large quantity of drugs out of circulation, and put Greene in jail.”
