A woman who authorities said is one of the “most wanted” drug offenders in the Florida Keys was arrested after calling 911 to report her son was threatening to kill her with a sword, officials said.
Jerneen Nicole Green, 51, of Stock Island, was taken into custody on Monday on multiple charges, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office officials said.
Green had called 911 to report that her son, 31-year-old Zjiavon Deaute Green, had been drinking alcohol, was damaging property, and was swinging a katana-style sword and threatening to kill her and others, authorities said.
