SUSPECT IN DES MOINES OFFICER DEATHS HAS HISTORY OF RACIAL PROVOCATIONS
Wednesday, November 02, 2016
DES MOINES, IA (KTRK) -- Police say they have captured the man who ambushed and killed two Des Moines-area officers just two miles apart overnight.
Authorities took 46-year-old Scott Michael Greene into custody hours after the killings and less than three weeks after he argued with officers who removed him from a high school football game where he had unfurled a Confederate flag near black spectators. Investigators say he has a history of racial provocations and confrontations.
Greene flagged down an Iowa Department of Natural Resources employee in a rural area west of Des Moines, identified himself and asked that the employee call 911. Sheriff's deputies and state patrol officers took him into custody.
He's suspected in the early morning slayings of 24-year-old Justin Martin, who had been with the force in the Des Moines suburb of Urbandale since 2015, and 38-year-old Sgt. Anthony Beminio, who joined the Des Moines department in 2005.
Greene was taken to a hospital for treatment of unknown health issues and was to be questioned later at Des Moines police headquarters, Sgt. Paul Parizek said.
