GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla. – A 19-year-old woman found not competent for prosecution on felony animal cruelty charges in the torture and death of a gopher tortoise in 2014 has been arrested again.
Jennifer Greene was arrested in 2014 after she and 15-year-old Danielle Dionne posted a video showing a gopher tortoise being lit on fire, thrown on concrete and stomped on until it died. The video went viral on Facebook.

Greene was ruled not competent to stand trial last March.
That ruling also applied to a separate charge of lewd and lascivious battery that resulted from sexual activity initiated by a younger teenage boy when Greene was 17.
Greene was placed in a conditional release program and sent to treatment. She moved to Nassau County.
She was arrested again over the weekend for violating the conditions of her released. According to court documents, Greene hit her aunt twice when she was in a defensive position during an altercation at the aunt's home in Nassau County.
The aunt told authorities she was in fear of her life.
Greene was transferred to the Clay County jail, where she is being held without bond.
Her mental competency is being reviewed.
