Attorney General Steve Marshall Announces Arrest of Former
Tannehill State Park Administrator for Theft and Ethics Violations
(MONTGOMERY) – Attorney General Steve Marshall announced the arrest yesterday
of a former administrator of Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park for felony ethics
and theft charges as well as possession of a forged instrument. Stacy Ingram Green, 42,
of Birmingham, surrendered to the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office and was released
on bond.
Attorney General Marshall’s Special Prosecutions Division presented evidence to a
Tuscaloosa County grand jury on April 3, resulting in her indictment that same day.*
Specifically, Green is charged with the use of her public position for personal gain, first-
degree theft of property, and third-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument.
Green was the administrator of Tannehill State Park from 2013 until 2017. The charges
are for a series of checks Green wrote to herself, drawn on an account of the Alabama
Historic Ironworks Foundation, a charitable arm of the Alabama Historic Ironworks
Commission, which resulted in her obtaining financial gain not specifically authorized
by law and not authorized by the Foundation or Commission. The criminal possession
of forged instrument charge is based on Green’s presentment of a check that was
dishonored for insufficient funds, which contained a forged signature of a retired
Tannehill employee.
No further information about the investigation or Green’s alleged crimes other than that
stated in the indictment may be released at this time.
The charges for use of office for personal gain and theft of property in the second
degree are class B felonies, punishable by two to 20 years in prison. Criminal possession
of a forged instrument in the third degree is a class D felony, punishable by one year
and one day to five years in prison.
*An indictment is merely an accusation. Defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
