Former Emmet County Sheriff has case dismissed
District Associate Judge Shawna Ditsworth dismissed a June 2024 case involving former Emmet County Sheriff Michael Martens at the Marble Beach State Recreation Area.
Assistant Dickinson County Attorney Kevin Maughan asked for the dismissal in a Jan. 17 court filing. He told Judge Ditwsorth “It now appears that there is insufficient credible evidence available for a jury to convict the defendant of the charge(s) filed in this cause.”
