(<a href=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Jordan James Greeno faces two misdemeanor charges after a May 15 dispute at a Bemidji apartment.<\/p>\n<p>Beltrami County prosecutors charged Greeno with domestic assault and falsely reporting a crime. The case was filed in Minnesota\u2019s Ninth Judicial District.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint says police responded to a 911 hang-up at about 3 a.m. Greeno and Tamia Johnson told officers that Greeno\u2019s former girlfriend, identified as M.P., entered the apartment and attacked them.<\/p>\n<h2>Initial Report Led to Arrest Effort<\/h2>\n<p>Greeno claimed M.P. slapped him and struck him with a frying pan. He also said she threw a trash can and made threats.<\/p>\n<p>Based on those statements, authorities developed probable cause to arrest M.P. She later surrendered and was taken to the Beltrami County Jail.<\/p>\n<p>However, investigators later reviewed parking lot video, text messages, and a cellphone recording. The complaint says that evidence did not support key parts of Greeno\u2019s account.<\/p>\n<h2>Video Showed a Different Sequence<\/h2>\n<p>M.P. told investigators that Preston Kern had received the apartment address from Greeno. Kern also said Greeno invited him to the residence.<\/p>\n<p>M.P. said she went there to return Greeno\u2019s property. She admitted throwing water on him during an argument.<\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint, the cellphone video showed Greeno punching M.P. in the face and neck. The video also showed him pulling her hair.<\/p>\n<p>M.P. fought back, and the two wrestled on the floor. Kern then stepped in and pulled Greeno away.<\/p>\n<p>M.P. admitted striking Greeno with a pan while Kern held him down. She said Greeno then took the pan and hit her.<\/p>\n<p>A juvenile witness also disputed Greeno\u2019s claim about a knife. The witness said M.P. never asked anyone to bring one.<\/p>\n<h2>Charges and Possible Penalties<\/h2>\n<p>Prosecutors allege Greeno acted to make a household member fear immediate harm. That charge falls under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.2242\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota\u2019s domestic assault law<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>They also allege he knowingly gave false information to police. That charge falls under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.505\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota\u2019s false reporting law<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Each misdemeanor carries up to 90 days in jail. Each also carries a possible fine of up to $1,000.<\/p>\n<p>The case is listed as 04-CR-26-1486. Public case information may be available through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mncourts.gov\/Access-Case-Records\/MCRO.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Greeno is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
