Son of former NFL coach held on child porn charge
BRISTOL, Conn. — Jeremy Green, the son of former NFL coach Dennis Green, no longer has a job as an NFL analyst at ESPN after being arrested this week on a child pornography charge in Connecticut.
Bristol police say the 38-year-old Green was picked up on Thursday around 5 p.m. in a Southington hotel and charged with possession of child pornography, possession of narcotics and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was presented in court Friday and is being held on a $750,000 bond. Police are not releasing details and say the warrant is sealed.
ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys says Green had worked since 2005 as a contributor to ESPN.com, but was not employed there as of Friday. He declined further comment.
A phone message also was left seeking comment from the Green family.
