CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Va. – A Virginia State Police trooper is in jail after being indicted by a grand jury on charges of multiple sex crimes. On Thursday, authorities arrested Derrick Thompson, of Drakes Branch, on charges of rape, sodomy and object sexual penetration. Police said the indictments handed down by a Charlotte County grand jury stem from a state police investigation into an incident reported to the department in September 2020. He was taken into custody without incident and is being held at the New River Regional Jail without bond, according to State Police. Thompson was suspended without pay pending the outcome of the judicial process, according to State Police.

Officials originally said his injuries were caused by a car crash that ended a May 2019 police chase or an ensuing struggle with state troopers. “He was spitting blood everywhere and all of a sudden he just went limp.”“It is shocking that this evidence has been withheld for over a year,” said Lee Merritt, an attorney for Greene’s family. He called on state officials to immediately release the full footage. Even after the trooper’s death, the State Police have refused to comment on Hollingsworth’s use of force or say which policies he was accused of violating in Greene’s arrest. Court records show he served more than a year in prison following a 2015 conviction for burglary and grand theft.

He called for an investigation of “everybody up the chain of command” who had been aware of the agency's response to Greene's death.

While more than a year has passed since the crash, the State Police have offered no public accounting of what caused Greene's death. Greene’s death was ruled accidental and attributed to cardiac arrest, said Renee Smith, the Union Parish coroner who was not in office when that determination was made.
