Green, on the other hand, was arrested quickly after a secondary search of the restaurant. Records show he has an active warrant with the police department, also for burglary.
Both men were transported to the Al Cannon Detention Center. However, Ward was released the next day after posting a $50,000 bail, while Green remained in custody without a bond set as of Monday.
Asian Garden, a family-owned business, first opened its doors in 1982. The restaurant was among the many businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic nationwide, reopening in April 2021.
