What are the Assault Charges Al Green Faced?
Linda Wills, Green’s former secretary, brought a $25,000 civil suit against him in 1974. Wills said Green assaulted her and slammed her through a glass door at his Memphis office after a disagreement over how much back pay she was due for her duties. The civil complaint was abandoned due to “conflicting testimony,” but they paid a $100,000 assault and battery claim in 1975.
On Memorial Day in 1977, Green and his former organist Larry Robinson were arrested for assault in Irving, Texas. Green and his goons, according to Robinson, jumped him when he challenged Green about money owing from past engagements. They were both released after posting bond on a misdemeanor charge.
Green was charged with assault and battery in 1978 after reportedly knocking Lovie Smith unconscious with a tree limb. Smith, who had moved, did not get a subpoena and thus missed his court date, so the charges were dropped.
