William Howard Green, 43, died in custody after being detained following a traffic accident
A Maryland cop is facing a murder charge after allegedly firing seven shots at a handcuffed man who was seated alongside him in the officer’s police cruiser following a traffic accident Monday night.
He was removed from his car and “at the time was believed to be under the influence of a substance,” police said. Green was handcuffed and placed in the front seat of Owen’s cruiser while the responding officers awaited the arrival of a drug recognition expert. He added that bringing charges against Owen was the “only appropriate cause of action under these circumstances.”
