The woman awoke and yelled at Greene, who fled to his girlfriend’s house.

Greene, who attended the University of Florida for two years before transferring to Louisianna-Lafayette, also played with the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings, and New Jersey (now Brooklyn) nets. He also played overseas in Spain, Israel and the Netherlands.

It remains unclear whether or not Greene has an attorney.

He recently signed with Guaros de Lara in Venezuela.
