Domestic Violence Incident Leads to Attempted Murder Arrest in Greenfield

On Saturday, December 11 at about 3:00 A.M., 25-year-old Raymundo Martinez of Greenfield, and his pregnant spouse got into a verbal argument which became physical when Martinez pushed her. Martinez took his wife's phone away preventing her from calling for help. She was able to leave the house, but Martinez chased her down the street. Martinez grabbed her, strangled her, then dragged her back to the house where he kept her all night. The next day on Sunday, December 12 the woman escaped again, but this time a family member picked her up and drove her to safety. Police were called and obtained a statement from her. Officers went to their residence to contact Martinez, but he was not home. On Sunday night, December 12 at about 6:20 P.M., officers received information that Martinez returned home and was armed with a firearm and/or a knife. When officers responded, Martinez was there, but barricaded himself in the house and refused to come out. With the assistance of the Soledad Police Department, the Monterey County Sheriff's Office, and the California Highway Patrol, the house was surrounded to prevent Martinez from escaping and creating an additional threat to the community. Officers utilized their Critical Incident Training (CIT) to negotiate with Martinez. After about an hour, Martinez came out and peacefully surrendered himself to officers. During a search of the home, no weapons were found. Martinez was booked into the Monterey County Jail for attempted murder, child abuse and endangerment, domestic violence, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and preventing someone from calling 911.
