Probation revoked following gun incident in Warren County

Feb. 13—Nicholas John Green, 32, pleaded guilty to an information about 11 months ago that landed him on supervised probation. The charge was possession of a firearm by a felon.

The three-year sentence to be served on probation was then transferred to his home county of Warren County and the McMinnville office of the Tennessee Department of Corrections and Probation/Parole.

Green was in Criminal Court Jan 20, asking for a hearing on a charge of violating conditions of probation, which include not possessing a weapon and not getting arrested. Green was accused of violating both conditions.

During a brief hearing, TDOC Probation Officer Bruce Pamplin testified he received supervision of Green from Cumberland County and on April 14, asked Green to submit to a drug test. Admitting he used marijuana, Green, according to Pamplin's testimony, refused.

On June 14, Green was again asked to submit to a drug test and that request was denied. Pamplin testified, in July, he filed a probation violation warrant for Green's arrest.

Under cross examination, Assistant Public Defender Lara Dykes asked Pamplin if the refusal was "open to interpretation," and asked if the drug test was not fulfilled because on both occasions, Green was "unable to urinate." Pamplin said Green told him he was unable to provide the urine for the tests.

Assistant District Attorney Philip Hatch then called as a witness Warren County Drug Court representative Justin Jennings who reported Green was accused of displaying a handgun when checking on the welfare of his daughter.

Warren County Deputy Sheriff Amanda Hodge testified she responded to that incident on Sept. 1, 2022, and found Green had left the scene before she arrived. He was later found at the residence he shared with his fiancée but no weapon was found.

Green testified in his own defense and that he was concerned about his daughter's welfare when he learned the child had been hurt at his ex-wife's residence.

He also testified he has always had an issue with urinating on demand and when others were present.

Green said he has been accepted in the Life Changes rehab program and after a lengthy history of marijuana use, would like to get his life in order through rehab.

"It seems to be there is an honesty issue, a credibility issue here," Judge Gary McKenzie said after listening to the testimony. The judge noted, without finding of fact, that he was accused in the gun incident while released on bond.

He then ordered Green to serve the balance of his sentence.
