SHARPSVILLE —
If those who attend anger management classes received report cards, Robert A. Green might not fare so well this week.
On his 37th birthday, Green, 1041 W. Ridge Ave., Apartment 1, Sharpsville, is accused of leaving a fight with his live-in girlfriend to report to a court-ordered anger management class.
Police said Green pushed his girlfriend and grabbed her around the neck during an argument on Wednesday.
The 21-year-old woman told police Green’s behavior has worsened since attending the anger management lessons which were ordered after an April incident between the two of them.
“He has gotten very verbal, very mean, saying things he wouldn’t before,” the woman told police. “He used to walk away; now he keeps arguing.”
That was the problem this week.
Police were called to the couple’s home twice on Wednesday. The first call came just after 8 a.m. The woman said she and Green had been arguing through the night about Green’s ex-girlfriend, and that Green said he was sick of “we” and wanted to end his current relationship as well.
He then called the woman several names, and when she said she was moving out, Green left the room to retrieve two handguns, and told her if she was leaving she wasn’t taking “his guns” – two handguns she had bought for him.
She thought Green would take the guns with him when he left for work, but when she called 911, he left without the weapons.
The woman asked Police Chief Keith Falasco to remove the guns from the house. He took both of the weapons, which were unloaded, along with a box of ammunition.
About 9 1/2 hours later, police again were called to the couple’s home for a domestic disturbance. The woman was home alone and said she and Green again had been arguing, and this time he started to come after her. She put her right hand up to push him away and was scared Green was going to hit her. He grabbed her hand and pushed it into the window of a door, causing cuts and bruises.
She then said Green grabbed her by the throat and threw her onto the couch, which caused her to hit her head on the back of the couch, compounding an existing injury.
Green left the house but returned while police still were there. He told police he had just come from a court-ordered anger management class stemming from an earlier arrest. Green told police he didn’t know anything about the allegations that he had physically hurt his girlfriend.
He was charged with simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment, in addition to possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a small amount of marijuana after police found he had a pipe and small amount of marijuana.
