Marion County deputy use taser to arrest a wanted felony suspect who walked away from a traffic stop
By: -----
On Wednesday, October 22, 2025, Deputy Jentsch and Deputy LaFountain responded to ID Logistics Warehouse, located at 13253 SW 20th Avenue Road, in Ocala, after receiving information that a person with a felony warrant was at the location.
While waiting for additional deputies, 20-year-old Ja’kyris Martin (B/M, DOB: 06/10/2005) was observed attempting to leave the parking lot. When Martin saw Deputy Jentsch’s patrol vehicle, he turned around and cut through multiple parking spaces.
Deputy Jentsch then initiated a traffic stop, and Martin exited the driver’s seat. Martin refused to comply with commands to stop and began walking away, so Deputy Jentsch deployed his taser and placed Martin under arrest.
Martin had two felony warrants out of Columbia County. The first was for the charges of Robbery, Home Invasion, Destroying Evidence, Weapons Offense, Kidnapping, Obstructing Justice, Fraud, Grand Theft, and two counts of Aggravated Assault. His second warrant was for Impersonating a Law Enforcement Officer, Grand Theft, and Home Invasion with a Firearm.
Martin was booked into the Marion County Jail, where he remains without bond
