Former NBA Player Donté Greene Arrested And Charged With Attempted Robbery Of A Gas Station

Former NBA forward Donté Greene was arrested after attempting to rob a gas station in Indiana.

Court documents say that the clerk told officers Greene entered the store and told the man to “give him all the money” before making threatening movements toward the cashier.

The worker had pulled out his phone and tried to call 911, but Greene told him not to call the police, the documents say. In then actually were workers at a Taco Bell connected to the gas station who called 911.

When cops arrived at the gas station, they arrested Greene and booked him into Elkhart County jail.
