“I’m right here,” Martyn said. “Come get me, big tough guy.”

“Don’t do it,” the deputy sheriff told Perrault.

“You better run and you better hide,” Perrault told Martyn.

“I don’t run from anybody,” Martyn responded.

Perrault then confronted Martyn about his past conviction for manslaughter. Martyn’s conviction relates to a 1991 vehicle-related incident in which an Oxbow garage owner was run down during an altercation.

“You killed someone and you try and pull the same s–t again?” Perrault said.

The situation spilled into the hallway and, from there, onto the street. By the time Martyn was taken from the scene in a police vehicle for safety reasons, the incident had come to include deputy sheriffs, members of the local sheriff’s office and police.
