Man jailed after hitting woman, resisting arrest

A Sweetwater man is being held at Loudon County Jail with a dog bite to the arm after allegedly hitting a woman, taking items from a residence and resisting arrest earlier this week.

Responding to a call of an unwanted guest Wednesday at a Blue Springs Road residence, Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Craig Brewer talked with a woman, who said that John Eric Greene, 33, had allegedly punched her three times in the face through the plastic on the front door of the residence. Brewer also said that Greene allegedly took from the residence a bottle of liquor, a case of beer and a .22-caliber revolver before fleeing into the nearby woods.

“Sgt. Michael Watkins with his K-9 partner then tracked Mr. John Greene into the woods. On locating him Sgt. Watkins gave Mr. John Greene commands to show his hands and to come out to him,” Brewer said. “On him putting up his hands and approaching Sgt. Watkins, and would not stop, he then went down at the K-9 in an aggressive manner and the dog bit him on the right forearm.”

Greene was charged with domestic assault, theft of property and resisting arrest and held on $7,500 bond.
