A twist of fate led to a mother’s arrest after she dialed 911 to report her son, only to discover she was one of the police’s “most wanted drug offenders.”
On February 23, 51-year-old Jerneen Nicole Green reached out to emergency services, claiming her 31-year-old son, Zjiavon Deaute Green, was allegedly threatening her and others with a sword at their residence in Stock Island, Florida Keys. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Department detailed the incident in a press release.
According to the statement, Jerneen described her son as intoxicated, causing destruction, and wielding a katana-style sword while making life-threatening declarations.
In a dramatic 911 call, cited in an arrest report, Zjiavon allegedly warned the dispatcher with a menacing, “If you come, you will die,” as his mother could be heard tearfully begging him to drop the weapon.
When officers arrived, they found Zjiavon to be speaking erratically and showing signs of emotional distress. Per the report, Zjiavon claimed the confrontation began when a simple attempt to hug his mother was met with resistance.
While Zjiavon admitted to police there was a sword involved though he denied threatening his mom or being physically violent.
“Due to his apparent intoxication and erratic demeanor,” police wrote in the report, “his responses were inconsistent and not credible.”
Zjiavon was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. He is being held at the Monroe County Jail and his arraignment date is scheduled for March 5. A spokesperson from the Monroe County court told Oxygen that Zjiavon has not yet been assigned a public defender.
The incident didn’t end there, though. Because Jerneen was arrested on multiple prior offenses, including trafficking cocaine and fentanyl, along with drug possession, according to the press release. In fact, in the press release, police described her as “one of Monroe County’s most wanted drug offenders.”
In April 2025, as part of an ongoing narcotics investigation, police searched Jerneen’s residence, read a probable cause report obtained by Oxygen, finding cocaine, fentanyl, MDMA, oxycodone, psychedelic mushrooms and unidentified pills.
Jerneen faces more than 24 charges, according to county jail records reviewed by Oxygen, and her arraignment date is not yet scheduled. A court spokesperson told Oxygen that Jerneen has not yet been assigned a public defender.
