The evening of March 28, 2022, Michigan State Police troopers pulled over Saginaw resident Vance D. Martin for allegedly speeding and running two stop signs. Saginaw Police officers arrived to lend assistance and their body-worn cameras captured footage of a trooper repeatedly punching Martin as he was handcuffed outside a patrol vehicle. The footage was obtained from the Saginaw Police Department by MLive via a Freedom of Information Act request. Two MSP troopers and two Saginaw Police officers are facing criminal charges related to their interaction with Martin.
