Officers found what was cited as an “AR-15 pistol” in a news release, though a probable cause statement described the weapon as an American Tactical semi-automatic rifle with a green laser sight. Patrolman Anna Mitchell reported in her probable cause statement that she found the gun outside a bedroom window that Martin allegedly discarded there before officers arrived. Martin, a convicted felon on parole for first-degree robbery, was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, a Class D felony. Mitchell and Sgt. Travis Keller responded to the call and made the arrest.

The bond was set by Judge Amanda Oesch.
