Legion Shooting Suspect Turns Self In

July 24, 2012
By TYLER REYNARD - Staff Writer , The Intelligencer / Wheeling News-Register

The Bellaire man suspected of firing a gun outside an East Wheeling bar earlier this month turned himself in to police Monday morning.

Julian Green, 29, arrived at police headquarters around 10 a.m. Monday. He was arraigned in Ohio County Magistrate Court on a charge of wanton endangerment involving a firearm.

He was released from the Northern Regional Jail at Moundsville after posting $25,000 bond.

Police say Green fired a single gun shot at the entrance of the American Legion at 15th and Jacob streets around 2 a.m. July 14.

According to court documents, the bar's bouncer denied Green and another man entrance because Green "has been known to cause problems inside the Legion in the past."

Green then allegedly pulled a gun from his waistband and fired a single shot as the bouncer was closing the door to the bar.

Video surveillance in the area reportedly shows Green fleeing on foot after the incident.

He appeared to stop momentarily on 15th Street and dispose of the weapon in a bush.

Officers were unable to recover a weapon at the scene, however, or determine where the bullet hit.

Green requested a preliminary hearing in magistrate court in the next 10 days.

He had not yet been appointed an attorney Monday.

As a condition of his bond, Green is not permitted to be within 500 feet of the bar.
