On 04/10/2026, Officer Evan McNair of the Fridley Police Department was on routine patrol in Anoka County when he observed a vehicle driving with no front license plate displayed. Officer McNair activated his emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Timmy James Martinez Jr., [DOB redacted], hereinafter the Defendant. A check on Defendant’s driver’s license showed its status as Cancelled-IPS. As Officer McNair was attempting to take Defendant into custody, Defendant put his vehicle into gear and drove off at a high rate of speed.

A short time later, officers located Defendant back at his residence. Defendant was slurring his speech, had watery eyes, and smelled of alcohol. Defendant was then taken into custody where he was offered a blood or urine test. After being explained that refusal is a crime, Defendant refused to give a sample of blood or urine.
