As of Sunday, Green remained in York County Prison on $75,000 bail, according to the prison.

Just after 10:30 p.m. Friday, Northern York County Regional Police were called to Green's home in the 700 block of Greenbriar Road, Manchester Township, after a call was made to York County 911 during which a man could be heard yelling in the background at the female caller, documents state.

Once there, police met Tirado, who was standing outside on the porch. Tirado said earlier that night, she and Green were out celebrating his birthday. When they got home, Tirado asked Green if he could put her shoes in a closet, at which time Green became irate, documents state.
