An Inola man free of a murder charge in the slaying of a local flower shop employee says he was shocked by his arrest and may sue Carter County authorities for false imprisonment. "They had me guilty before I could prove I was innocent. I told them I didn't do it and told them where I was at the time. It was really hard on my family, and it ruined my name;" Michael Frank Greene said. Prosecutors decided Wednesday to drop the first-degree murder charge they had filed against Greene, 37, because of new evidence and records that showed he was in a hospital in Wichita Falls, Texas, on the day Gwen Miller was killed at the flower shop.

"They walked into my room and told me I was under arrest. When they told me it was for capital murder, I like to have fell out of that bed," said Greene, who was arrested Sunday at a Lawton hospital. Greene, who appeared in Carter County District Court on Thursday to waive extradition to Garden City, Kan.7 on a theft of services charge, said he knew all along he would be freed of the charges in Ardmore. "About 3 a.m. that morning (Sunday), they (Ardmore police) got a flier that said they caught the guy who really did it out in New Mexico.

They told me I would be released the next day, but nothing happened," Greene said. "They took their sweet time about it."
