Ex-UI Player Faces Preliminary Hearing On Card-Theft Charges

Freshman guard Jevon Green, kicked off the Idaho men’s basketball team last week, faces a preliminary hearing Friday on stolen credit card charges.

Green was arrested and jailed Monday night after returning to Moscow. He was arraigned Tuesday for failing to appear at a preliminary hearing last Thursday on charges of forging a signature on a stolen credit card and possessing a stolen credit card.

Arrest warrants had been issued for Green in Idaho and Washington. He was mistakenly released from jail in Seattle last Tuesday, then failed to show for a preliminary hearing in Moscow last Thursday.

Green, Washington’s leading high school scorer last season and Idaho’s No. 1 recruit this season, was arrested and jailed in Seattle after Idaho’s game at Washington on Dec. 29. The Seattle native had violated probation by not attending substance abuse classes after he was found in possession of an illegal substance.

Green’s lawyer in Moscow, Bob Tunnicliff, said Green returned to Moscow on Monday with the intention of turning himself in Tuesday morning.
