accused of stealing a dead man\u2019s more than $2 million estate<\/a> while posing as his spouse and working as an unlicensed funeral director at A Community Funeral Home.<\/p>\nThe Harris County Sheriff\u2019s Office confirmed Green was released from jail just before 5 a.m. on Tuesday. The bonding company would not provide information about who paid any of the money that led to Green\u2019s release.<\/p>\n
Houston Police and the Harris County Precinct 1 Constable\u2019s Office had been investigating Green for months after executing a search warrant at the funeral home mid-service late last year.<\/p>\n
The family of Lawrence Gammon contacted investigators after they said they hired Green for funeral arrangements, provided his personal information over email, but ended up not getting any funeral services and realized they may have been scammed, according to records.<\/p>\n
Green filed documents in probate court, including what attorneys have argued was a fake last will and testament, claiming that Gammon left his entire estate to Green. An attorney representing Green in that case told KPRC 2 News last week that Green maintains having rights to the estate, but wouldn\u2019t clarify the relationship between the two.<\/p>\n
Gammon\u2019s family has said they did not know Green or any connection between the two prior to his death, according to records. <\/p>\n
In addition to allegedly trying to steal his estate, Green is also accused of submitting fraudulent documents to the Texas Funeral Service Commission to obtain a license to be a funeral director and embalmer, including claiming to have fake military service, before running A Community Funeral Home without a license.<\/p>\n
Green has an arraignment hearing scheduled for Friday.<\/p>\n
