Officer Martin – Pleasant Grove Police Department

On December 17, 2017, Officer Martin responded to a welfare check at a gas station involving Mr. Thayne. After a verbal exchange, Mr. Thayne attempted to leave, and Officer Martin warned him not to. When Mr. Thayne drove away, Officer Martin, along with other officers, pursued and stopped his vehicle. Officer Martin approached with his gun drawn, ordered Mr. Thayne to exit, and, upon refusal, forcibly removed him from the car. Mr. Thayne filed a lawsuit alleging excessive force and other claims. The court granted summary judgment in favor of the officers, finding no constitutional violations. ([casetext.com](https://casetext.com/case/thayne-v-pleasant-grove-city?utm_source=openai))

Why This Matters
