Officer Craig Martin – Apache Junction Police Department

Written by CBKN76

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.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
