At Rest

Suicide
Ronald W. Martin reportedly shot himself at his home in front of officers, including Chief Frank Moore. Police had responded to a request from a relative to check on Martin. Martin was reportedly close friends with former Chief J.D. Roth, who'd committed suicide in 2013 about one month after being charged with felony official misconduct and suspended from his job. Martin's suicide came two weeks after former Interim Chief Sgt. Scott Miller shot and killed himself.
This record exists so that Ronald W. Martin, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
