According to the Gang Suppression Unit, at 9:40 p.m. on Saturday - 20 minutes before another patrol caught Heusner - they were on George Street conducting operations when they saw Martinez riding a bicycle at the corner of Bishop and George Streets.

When the GSU officers approached him, he sped off trying to escape. Just before he was caught, Martinez reportedly pulled out an object and threw it over a fence in yard which is very near to his Plues Street address.

When he was detained, the officers located the object he threw away, and discovered that it was an Austria Brand Glock 9 mm pistol, which contained 13 live rounds of ammunition. This pistol also had the serial number filed off. As a result, they arrested and charged him with keeping an unlicensed firearm, and keeping unlicensed ammunition.

He was brought to Magistrate's Court today where he was arraigned and remanded to prison until July 11.
