Former Browns executive Jeremy Green held on child porn charge
Here's a story from the Associated Press:
BRISTOL, Conn. | Jeremy Green, the son of former NFL coach Dennis Green, no longer has a job as an NFL analyst at ESPN after being arrested this week on a child pornography charge in Connecticut.
Green was an NFL scout for 11 years. He was a coordinator of pro personnel for the Browns for three seasons (2000-02). He was then promoted and served as the Browns' director of pro personnel during the 2003 and 2004 seasons.
Bristol police say the 38-year-old Green was picked up on Thursday around 5 p.m. in a Southington hotel and charged with possession of child pornography, possession of narcotics and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was presented in court Friday and is being held on a $750,000 bond. Police are not releasing details and say the warrant is sealed.
ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys says Green had worked since 2005 as a contributor to ESPN.com, but was not employed there as of Friday. He declined further comment.
A phone message also was left seeking comment from the Green family.
