Out of K-9

He was clocked going 100 mph along the interstate and issued a summons.

After some phone calls, Cpl. Billy Martinez, a long-time K-9 handler for the Hernando County Sheriff's Office, nearly got away scot-free, according to an Internal Affairs investigation.

After the agency caught wind of his ticket and his attempts to hide it, he was investigated and reprimanded, his supervisors said. Martinez was suspended for three days without pay and put on 30 days probation.

By next week, he could face stiffer punishment.

Martinez is under investigation again. Details of his allegations were not disclosed.

Sgt. Donna Black, a sheriff's spokeswoman, said she could not comment on the ongoing internal affairs investigation.

Col. Mike Maurer, who issued Martinez's punishment for the speeding ticket, said the current case might be concluded by next week.

He said Martinez "has been relieved of his K-9 duties" while the investigation continues.

On Sept. 26, 2010, Martinez was driving an unmarked, agency-issued vehicle to Nashville, Tenn., to attend a K-9 school, according to IA records.

While traveling through Adel, Ga., he was pulled over by a police officer and issued a summons.

Deputy John Gore was riding with Martinez when he was pulled over.

After Martinez was released, Gore told him he would need to report his speeding ticket to his supervisors, according to records.

Gore said Martinez shrugged and said nothing.

The sheriff's office learned of the ticket more than two months later. Lt. Cyrus Robinson, who conducted the IA investigation, stated the ticket had "100" circled on it and appeared "to have been changed to a warning sometime after the citation was issued."

In the end, the Adel police stated Martinez was going 84 mph in a 70 mph zone.

The arresting officer and his supervisor were contacted by the sheriff's office.

"(He) was vauge (sic) as to who called him and when asked if it was Martinez, he just said a phone call was made and he changed it to a warning," Robinson wrote following his conversation with the arresting officer.

Robinson also sated Martinez "took full responsibility" for the incident and testified he didn't realize he needed to report a traffic citation that ultimately would be dismissed.

Martinez, during his sworn testimony, told Robinson, "I didn't really think that (policy) pertained to a Uniform Traffic Citation.

"Um, what I was planning on doing was to, if I could not get the citation dismissed, I was going to notify the sheriff's office or my immediate supervisor and just make them aware that, ah, I did receive a Uniform Traffic Citation … ," Martinez said.

Martinez's allegation was sustained. He was found to have been in violation of two policies – not reporting an arrest to a supervisor and using his position as a law enforcement officer to avoid the consequences of an illegal act.

Maurer said Martinez "made several calls" to the Adel Police Department to have his summons dismissed.

Martinez said five times during his testimony he had received a traffic citation. Maurer said he was being dishonest.

"It is clearly not that," Maurer wrote. "It is clearly a summons to appear in court."

Martinez has been employed with the sheriff's office since October 1992.

"You have brought embarrassment to our agency and discredit to yourself," Maurer stated in his letter. "Your years of service and assignments have taught you better and you know the right procedures."

Its about time he gets his rear-end handed to him. He has been getting away with alot during the years, but the Admin is blind.

He thinks he's Gods gift to Law Enforcement and can get away with anything.
Looking forward to hear the rest of his problems he is involved in. No telling what he has been hiding from the agency.

Karma is a bit-- don't mislead your boss, why didn't you just tell the truth? Now you can not be trusted, who would want you as back-up.
Despite all your hard work and dedication of service, No one cares about a dishonest cop. May have to go back to selling Pizza at mom's and pop's. Nugent can't help you now.

He's not going to back you up because he don't have a dog.
You don't need a dog to make pizza's. The pizza's are not going to hurt you like the bad guys

Anything short of a forced resignation or termination would be a shame.time to vacuum up the dirt Nugent left behind

I agree about cleaning up Nugen's dirt but I think he need to pay the piper and not be allowed to resign. He's a no good man that has gotten away with too much and so has his wife. We need to get rid of all of Nugent's dirt.

He's not "FIRED" yet???????

Nope...alive and well..

The other IA's should be coming to a close. Should hear something soon

What has he done to you?

This guy is does not know the meaning of being a cop. He will stab you in the back. He will drop a dime on you if he knew you did something wrong, even if it was a mistake. He is very sneaky.
This is why they call him Rat Boy/Cheese Boy. There is nothing good coming from him. Even his former K-9 Unit does not like him. How many times do you think he has screwed them. Just ask around, I don't know anyone who likes him.

I like him

You keep liking him

BROOKSVILLE --
The former K-9 supervisor said he preferred to spend more time on the streets chasing crooks.

Deputy Billy Martinez made it known he hated red tape.

That's what he told Sgt. Kathleen Reid, the internal affairs investigator for the Hernando County Sheriff's Office, during his interview.

"He advised that was one of his faults within the unit," Reid wrote in her report. "He was more concerned with finding the bad guy or a missing child, so he would put off his paperwork."

His supervisors said Martinez's penchant for cutting corners on his administrative duties is what cost him his corporal rank.

Additionally, Martinez no longer oversees the K-9 unit. He's since returned to street patrol by order of the sheriff. He also was suspended for 12 days without pay.

In the end, his bosses reprimanded him for his sloppy maintenance of time sheets and evidence logging and his failure to testify honestly about his mistakes.

Martinez had three sustained allegations — below standard record keeping, violation of the agency's code of conduct and untruthfulness.

"Your failure to properly recognize and execute this critical responsibility could have compromised the integrity of the unit and potentially put K-9-related drug cases in jeopardy," stated Col. Michael Maurer, the sheriff's office's second in command.

Maurer's other memo contained harsher rhetoric.

He stated Martinez's decision to substitute his subordinates' signatures on their time sheets was a "perilous practice" that violated policy.

Maurer thought Martinez's negligence while a supervisor could have easily "brought discredit to our agency as well as potential litigation."

He saved his strongest criticism for last. He blasted Martinez for his failure to speak truthfully about what he did during the initial bureau-level investigation.

"You should've provided a simple statement of admission and oversight for the exclusion of entries," Maurer wrote. "Your decision to depart from the truth and engage in a cascading series of misstatements is intolerable and totally unacceptable."

After one of his supervisors uncovered Martinez's time sheet snafu last spring, the wheels were set in motion to replace him with a new K-9 supervisor.

Sgt. Timothy Bammert, who had overseen the unit previously, took it over.

Bammert discovered other possible missteps by Martinez, which prompted the IA investigation, according to the sheriff's office.

Martinez was accused of shoddy recordkeeping with the K-9 drug locker records.

During his subsequent interview, Martinez told Reid he had thrown away some of the original pages from the log book that documented who removed narcotics from the locker and when. He replaced them with "newer and neater" pages and rewrote everything, according to the IA report.

"I asked what he had done with the original documents and he stated, 'probably threw them out I would imagine,'" Reid wrote. "I asked why he would throw away documents because they weren't neat and orderly and he said he didn't think they would be used for court."

At one point, he told Reid, "My bad," when she pressed him about his questionable methods to recordkeeping.

The narcotics stored in the lockers are used to train K-9s on how to locate hidden drugs.

Supervisors said no evidence was missing while Martinez supervised the K-9 unit. They pinpointed the problem to the recordkeeping.

"He stated he understands how important the documentation is and he had hoped he would have done a better job, but unfortunately, that was not what happened," Reid wrote in her report.

Martinez has worked with the sheriff's office for 19 years. He joined the K-9 unit in 1998 and was promoted to supervisor in 2006.

His dishonest statements, Maurer stated, came when he was asked by a supervisor about why he hadn't properly documented his dogs' mandatory training.

Martinez said he hadn't uploaded the information from his laptop to the agency's mainframe and he had contacted computer specialists from within the department to assist him.

His supervisor investigated the story and discovered none of the specialists had been contacted by Martinez, according to the report.

:evil: Should have been fired.

WOw I thought the sheriff would not put up with moral issues ... Pergury Lets see how long it takes for this to blow up in the boss's face!

Why? You have staff at the jail that were caught on the stand LYING and nothing gets done about it.
