Goforth was found dead in his vehicle, as a result of a gunshot, on a road East of Mena, during the early morning hours by a passerby. Authorities searched the area and worked clues until they were notified by law enforcement officials in Broken Bow, Oklahoma of their arrest of Green, at an area motel.
Polk County Sheriff Scott Sawyer said that Green is accused of First Degree Murder, Felony Theft and Illegal Gun Possession, according to the charges filed last week. Green pleaded innocent to each of the charges and awaits an August 12th pre trial hearing and a court date slated for August 25th. However, those dates may get pushed backed due to the nature of the case.
Until then, Green sits in the Polk County Detention Facility on a $1 million bond.
