Gainesville Man Arrested for Lunging at Woman with Closed Fist

Clinton Andre Green, 21, was arrested on March 24 and charged with simple assault. 

The victim told police that Green threatened to punch her in the face and lunged at her with a closed fist but did not strike her. However, Green reportedly did punch a TV. 

Green reportedly admitted to threatening to punch the victim and said it was “out of anger.” Green told police he struck the TV with his elbow by accident. 

Green was released on recognizance. He’s been ordered to not contact the victim. 

In October 2024, Green was charged with simple battery against the same victim for allegedly grabbing her and tearing her shirt when she tried to leave. The charges were dropped two months ago.
