Authorities are searching for an Interlachen man they say attacked a woman and started a fire at a home. During the evening of Sept. 2, deputies said Jordan Green, 33, set fire to a room in the house and battered a woman.

According to the Putnam County Sheriff ’s Office social media post, the victim told deputies Green came to an Interlachen residence to start an argument and then he struck her in the head.

The victim fled from Green, gathering her children and locking herself in a bedroom. According to deputies, the victim said she smelled smoke and left the bedroom, but found a room in another part of the house on fire.

Deputies said the victim took her children and ran to a neighbor’s home and Green left the home. The victim also said Green entered the residence with lighter fluid in his hands.


The State Fire Marshal’s Office was assigned to the arson investigation and will determine if additional charges will be filed.


Green was on probation at the time of the attack, the sheriff ’s office said. In May, he was charged with felony battery of a person 65 years or older and Green received an order of no contact, according to court records. He was released July 12. Sheriff ’s office spokeswoman Allison Waters-Merritt said Green was seen walking on foot in the Interlachen area.

She said Green is considered a prolific offender and convicted felon, meaning he is on the agency’s radar when crimes occur near his residence. “We’ve received a couple calls about him in the Interlachen area,” Waters Merritt said.

Anyone with information as to the location of Green is asked to contact CrimeStoppers of Northeast Florida at 1-888-277-8477. Tips are anonymous and are eligible for a reward if leading to an arrest.

“We would encourage anyone to contact us so we can make the arrest, let the judicial process work and give the victim some peace of mind,” Waters-Merritt said.
