Murder Suspect Who Alleged Bear Attack Is Captured in South Carolina
A murder suspect who claimed he was attacked by a bear while on the run has been captured in South Carolina. Jason Green, 27, was wanted in connection with a homicide in North Carolina, and had been evading law enforcement for several days.
Green’s dramatic capture came after he allegedly broke into a home in Pickens County, South Carolina, and stole a firearm. The homeowner was able to contact authorities, who quickly responded to the scene. After a brief standoff, Green was taken into custody without further incident.
But what makes this case truly bizarre is Green’s claim that he was attacked by a bear while on the run. According to Green, he was hiding in the woods when a bear suddenly appeared and attacked him, causing him to suffer injuries to his face and hands. Despite the odd nature of his story, authorities have not confirmed whether or not Green’s injuries were actually caused by a bear.
Green now faces charges in both North Carolina and South Carolina, including murder, burglary, and possession of a stolen firearm. It is unclear at this time whether he has retained legal representation or if he plans to fight the charges against him.
The case of Jason Green serves as a reminder of the unpredictable and often dangerous nature of fugitives on the run. Despite his alleged encounter with a bear, Green was ultimately apprehended by law enforcement and will now have to face the consequences of his actions.
As the investigation continues, authorities will work to determine the full extent of Green’s involvement in the homicide in North Carolina, as well as any other crimes he may have committed while on the run. In the meantime, residents of both states can breathe a little easier knowing that a dangerous suspect is now behind bars.
