In August 2021, Officer Craig Martin was involved in the arrest of Karl Williams, who was filming police activity. Williams was reportedly thrown to the ground and arrested without cause. The officers allegedly deleted Williams’ video and charged him with multiple offenses. The charges were later dropped, and Williams filed a lawsuit against the city for false arrest and malicious prosecution.
