Police say Orien Greene broke into a home in Pembroke Pines, Fla., and fondled a woman, 7 News in Miami reported. The 34-year-old Greene faces charges of battery and burglary and was being held on a $30,000 bond, according to online jail records. According to TMZ Sports, Greene was staying at his girlfriend’s house when he sneaked out and broke into two homes in the same neighborhood.
At the first home, he saw a 56-year-old woman sleeping, but left the house. He then broke into a second home, where he allegedly went into the bedroom of a 40-year-old woman.
He then reportedly began rubbing the woman’s buttocks and kissing her neck, causing the woman to wake up and begin screaming. Orien Greene then ran back to his girlfriend’s home, according to a police report cited by TMZ. He was arrested shortly after the incidents.
