Saginaw, Michigan – On March 28, 2022, around 7:15 p.m., Michigan State troopers noticed a red Pontiac Grand Am driven by 48-year-old Vance D. Martin turn onto eastbound Annesley Street at a high rate of speed. Troopers’ radar indicated the Pontiac was going 46 mph in a 25-mph zone. They pulled over the Martin on the 2300 block of Annesley Street after he failed to stop at two stop signs. Martin was uncooperative, failing to provide identification or step out of the Pontiac.

Martin eventually exited the car and troopers handcuffed his wrists behind his back. Troopers told Martin he was under arrest, but he then refused to be placed in the backseat of a patrol vehicle and tensed his body. One trooper tried pushing Martin into the patrol vehicle, but his efforts were ineffective. More troopers and two Saginaw police officers responded to the scene. Martin continued struggling against being arrested, to the point he struck the back of one trooper’s legs with his own.

Bodycam video shows a trooper delivering one straight punch to Martin’s face, which put him to sleep.

Officers requested Mobile Medical Response to the scene to evaluate Martin. Upon paramedics’ arrival, Martin declined medical attention. Troopers and officers then resumed trying to get Martin in a patrol vehicle, delivering knee-strikes to his legs and punches to his lower abdomen. Troopers wrote in the reports that Martin at one point put his right leg between a trooper’s legs and lightly struck his groin. The trooper then delivered four straight punches to Martin’s face, three of which connected.

Troopers and officers were shortly thereafter able to pull and push Martin into a police car. Martin was taken to Covenant HealthCare hospital for an evaluation and a blood draw. Police then lodged Martin at the Saginaw County Jail on five counts of assaulting, resisting or obstructing police and single counts of operating while intoxicated and having an open intoxicant in a vehicle.

Inside Martin’s vehicle, police found a 12-ounce Michelob Ultra and a pint of Seagram’s vodka, both open, behind the driver’s seat......It's five o'clock somewhere!
