WEIS Radio, out of Centre, AL, reported that Martin was stopped by officers in Floyd County, GA, for having no tag on his vehicle.

As WEIS Radio reported, Martin told officers he had no tag because he had just bought the truck.

However, officers found that not only was the vehicle uninsured, but Martin was also driving without a valid license. Georgia's inmate portal contained evidence of these charges.
