Lewiston, Idaho Man Faces Felony Charge After Allegedly Kicking Officer During Arrest
Suspect Accused of Assaulting Officer Outside Lewiston Bar
A 20-year-old Lewiston, Idaho man is facing a felony charge after allegedly kicking a police officer during an arrest for a bar disturbance in the early morning hours of April 11, according to court documents filed in Nez Perce County.
Trevor P. Green was taken into custody around 11:20 p.m. on Friday, April 10, 2026, after officers with the Lewiston Police Department responded to a report of an intoxicated individual causing a disturbance outside a bar on Main Street in Lewiston. Green now faces a charge of felony battery on a law enforcement officer.
According to court documents, responding officers found Green behaving in a disorderly manner and attempted to take him into custody. Green allegedly refused to comply with officer commands, resisted detention efforts, and pulled away from an officer who attempted to seat him near a patrol vehicle. During the course of the arrest, Green is accused of kicking the officer in the groin area.
Green was arrested and formally charged at the scene. He is scheduled to appear in Nez Perce County District Court on April 20 for a preliminary hearing on the felony charge.
Assault on Officers Carries Serious Consequences Under Idaho Law
Battery on a law enforcement officer is treated as a serious felony offense under Idaho law, reflecting the state’s long-standing commitment to protecting those who serve in public safety roles. Officers responding to disturbances involving intoxicated individuals face an elevated risk of physical confrontation, a reality that Lewiston Police and other agencies across the Lewis-Clark Valley contend with regularly.
The Lewiston Police Department has not released a public statement specific to this case at this time. No injuries requiring emergency medical transport were reported in the source documents, though the nature of the alleged assault — a kick to the groin area — constitutes a physical attack on an officer in the performance of duty.
Cases involving resistance to lawful arrest and physical assaults on officers place significant strain on local law enforcement resources and the broader justice system. Nez Perce County prosecutors will now review the evidence ahead of Green’s April 20 court appearance to determine how the case proceeds.

Incidents of this nature serve as a reminder that law enforcement officers in communities like Lewiston routinely put themselves in harm’s way to maintain public order, often responding to volatile situations with limited information and under significant pressure. Assaulting an officer during a lawful arrest is not only a serious criminal act — it is a direct threat to the safety of those who protect the public.
Green’s case will now move through the Nez Perce County court system. As a charged defendant, he is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
