Former NBA player and Syracuse star Donté Greene was arrested and charged with attempted robbery after police say he tried to rob a gas station clerk in Goshen, Ind., on Nov. 8, per the South Bend Tribune.
According to police records obtained by the publication, officials said Greene, 34, “lunged” at a gas station clerk. The clerk told officers Greene entered the store and told the man to “give him all the money” before engaging in threatening movements toward the cashier. The worker pulled out his phone and attempted to call 911, but Greene told him not to call the police, the documents say. Workers at a Taco Bell connected to the Phillips station were the ones who called 911 after witnessing Greene’s entrance.
Video footage of the incident allegedly showed Greene speaking with the clerk and walking around the store before taking items out of his pockets and taking off his shirt. At that point, court documents say, Greene began lunging at the cashier who continually backed away behind the counter.
