Martin is 31, 5-feet, 6-inches tall, and weighs around 125 lbs. He has brown hair and brown eyes with light skin tone. Martin is considered armed and dangerous. Martin was the Fugitive of the Week two weeks ago.

“Martin was last known to be living in Springfield, VT, where he has family, friends, and associates,” stated Deputy Marshal Jeffrey White. “Martin has shown a firearm during multiple robberies and should be considered armed and extremely dangerous, as he is alleged to be continuing to rob banks and other establishments while a fugitive.”

According to press reports in Vermont, alleged drug habits fueled the robberies in that state that Martin and accomplice were allegedly involved in. In September, Martin pled guilty to robbing a bank and credit union and was to be extradited to Rhode Island, his birthplace state, for being a fugitive. He also pled guilty to assault and robbery with a weapon in February, according to press reports.

On the eve of the publication of this weeks’ Fugitive of the Week, White informed media outlets that an up to $5,000 reward had been issued for information leading to Martin’s arrest.
