A Limestone County couple remained jailed Wednesday after assaulting a deputy who was trying to arrest them for public intoxication on New Year’s Eve, records show.

Kerry Trent Green, 44, and Yolanda Michelle Elders Green, 38, both of 25157 Copeland Road, Athens, were charged Dec. 31 with second-degree assault, resisting arrest, illegal possession of prohibited liquor, public intoxication and disorderly conduct, records show. Yolanda Green is also charged with third-degree escape and possession of an open container of alcohol, records show.

Deputy Rhett McNatt was patrolling Alabama 251 at 11:15 p.m. Monday when he saw a vehicle sitting in the road.

“The deputy arrested the female, placed her in handcuffs and put her in the back of his patrol car,” said Limestone Chief Deputy Stanley McNatt. “He then returned to the vehicle to arrest the male, who resisted and head-butted the deputy. While the deputy was struggling with the man, the woman slipped her hands out of the handcuffs, got out of the patrol car and started scratching and clawing the deputy with her fingernails.”

The deputy, who was not injured, got both suspects in custody and called for backup.

Lt. Guy Simmons arrived to help transfer the Greens to the Limestone County jail.
