27 YEAR OLD BOOKED AFTER DOMESTIC DISPUTE

  

27 year-old Cody Joe Martin was arrested around 6:15pm yesterday (Wednesday) after drawing a .22 firearm on his estranged wife and threatening suicide amidst a domestic argument.

There was a protective order against Martin held by his estranged wife, and Martin was at the location trying to see his children when the argument began.

Sergeant Mitch Dreyer of the Washington County Dreyer responded to the 911 call placed by the estranged wife, and took Martin into custody. An investigation revealed a warrant out for Martin in McClennon County for violating a protective order, and Martin was also charged with child endangerment, simple assault, among other charges.

Due to Martin’s threat, an emergency Protective Order was placed on him, and he was taken to Baylor Scott and White to be checked out, where the State’s Mental Health program (MHMR) cleared him.

After being cleared, Martin was booked into the County Jail, where he awaits arraignment.
