Warren man pleads guilty in federal court to gun crime

Staff report

WARREN

Michael L. Green, 33, of Jackson Street Southwest pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court in Akron to charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of body armor by a violent felon.

U.S. District Judge John R. Adams will sentence Green at 11 a.m. July 1. He will remain in federal custody until then and could get 15 years to life in prison.

An Ohio State Highway Patrol officer assisting Warren police Oct. 28, 2013, in the aftermath of two shooting deaths in Warren, arrested Green outside a house on Kenwood Drive Southwest.

Police came to the house at 12:44 a.m. just after shots were fired at another nearby house. The shots damaged the home’s interior but didn’t injure anyone.

Police said they found Green with a handgun and an assault rifle with a nearly-full 100-round drum magazine, and he was wearing body armor.

The house involved belonged to Taemarr Walker, 24, who had been killed nine days earlier in a confrontation with a Warren police officer.

The arrest also came two days after Richard C. Rollison IV, 24, of Niles, was killed at a West Market Street gas station.

Taemarr Walker’s brother, TaShawn Walker, 26, was charged with aggravated murder in the Rollison killing and awaits trial.
