A 34-year-old Saginaw man, Jason T. Green Jr., has been federally charged with trafficking methamphetamine after authorities recovered the illegal drug from his residence and an adjacent abandoned house allegedly used as a stash location.
Since January, the FBI’s Mid-Michigan Safe Streets Task Force has been investigating Green for suspected drug sales. According to an affidavit, investigators used a confidential source to conduct two controlled purchases of meth at Green’s home at 1722 Cherry Street.
Surveillance footage reportedly showed multiple people visiting Green’s house briefly, behavior consistent with drug distribution. Officers also observed Green walking across the street to an abandoned property at 1715 Cherry Street, retrieving a black bag from a trash can, and returning to complete transactions with visitors.
On March 24, task force personnel executed search warrants at both locations. From the abandoned house, officers seized a medium-sized bag of meth, smaller amounts of the drug, and drug paraphernalia including spoons and a scale. Torn baggies containing crystal-like residue suspected to be meth were also recovered from a nearby trash can.
Authorities noted that the quantity and packaging of meth exceeded personal use levels, indicating distribution. Green previously served probation for maintaining a drug house and smaller-scale drug offenses, with early discharge in January 2024.
Green is charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. A detention hearing is scheduled for March 26.
