Grimy Times has learned that Jeremy Martin, a 45-year-old man from El Paso, Texas, has been sentenced to 126 months in federal prison for his role in a firearms crime. Martin’s sentence was handed down in Sioux City, Iowa, on March 11, 2024.
The case against Martin began on January 26, 2023, when the Sioux City Police attempted to stop him for speeding. However, Martin attempted to flee the scene, getting his vehicle stuck in the snow. He then fled on foot but was apprehended by officers from the Sioux City Police Department.
During his arrest, Martin admitted to having a stolen firearm in his jacket, a box of ammunition containing 100 rounds, a syringe, a scale, and a baggie containing more than 3 grams of methamphetamine. His criminal history also included a felony, making it illegal for him to possess firearms.
As part of his sentence, Martin will also serve a three-year term of supervised release after completing his prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.
The case against Martin was brought as part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) program, a violent crime reduction strategy that focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partners with locally based prevention and reentry programs for lasting reductions in crime.
The case was investigated by the Sioux City Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Forde Fairchild. Martin is currently being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
The case file number is 23-4017, and court file information can be found at https://ecf.iand.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/login.pl.
