Green was being held on a charge of theft by deception, a case that has been resolved.

He also had robbery offenses out of Ohio and through an interstate agreement Green was being housed in Mercer on the local charge.

The U.S Marshal’s NY/NJ Regional Fugitive Task Force is leading the search for Green.

Anyone who sees Green should not approach him and instead should call 911.
