“The [Montgomery County] DA is reviewing the charges,” Livingood said. “There are no charges now.”
None of the men has a violent criminal history.
Livingood said the incident stemmed from what he called a “monetary and a business issue,” though he said he didn’t know the exact amount of money in dispute.
The incident happened in the rear of the fenced-in property. There are no signs on the building to indicate what kind of business it is. However, there is what appears to be a hotrod in the rear of the building; there is a cluttered room including a cot in the front room of the building.
Livingood said he believes the Greens ran an automotive interior business; he added that the Greens used to operate out of a shop on Easton Road, across from Sussman Honda, called “Extreme Interiors.”
