The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that state Rep. Gerald Greene, R-Cuthbert, was shot in the leg during a robbery and was treated at a Columbus hospital. He was released later Thursday.

Initial reports from Speaker David Ralston’s office were that Greene had stopped for gas on his way from Atlanta to his home in Randolph County. Ralston spokesman Kaleb McMichen said Friday his statement “was based on preliminary reports our office received immediately following the incident.”

According to a Columbus police incident report, Greene was robbed at 3:10 p.m. in a parking lot at 3009 Victory Drive, home of Foxes Cinema, an adult book and video store. The only thing stolen was Greene’s iPhone, the report says.
