The Greenville County Sheriff's Office issued the following press release Monday morning:
This morning, at around 9:00am, deputies on the U.S. Marshals task force responded to 451 Howard Road, in Landrum to look for wanted suspect, 24 year-old, Jimmy Green Jr.
Green, who is wanted by Greer City Police for multiple counts of kidnapping, barricaded himself inside the residence before discharging multiple gunshots.
Deputies requested SWAT and began “call-outs”, in an effort to get him to surrender safely. During that time, all other parties inside the house came out unharmed.
While the GCSO SWAT team was en route, deputies observed the residence had been set on fire. Within moments, the suspect surrendered and was taken into custody.
Green is facing additional charges for the incident today, however the charges are not yet available.
