December 31, 2012 Page 7 - The BUZZ Right Brother Accepts Sentence Pleads to Charges Initially Heaped on wrong Brother Martin A man who told police officers he was not who he was but identified himself as his brother and escaped an initial visit to court a few weeks ago showed up on Thursday and pleaded to six counts, including criminal impersonation and driving under the influence (DUI) In Monroe County General Sessions Court, Judge Reed Dixon sentenced Michael Todd Martin to six months probation for the impersonation plea and to 11 months, 29 days for pleading to DUI. Martin also accepted the usual DUI penalty for a first offense and will spent 48 hours behind bars and pay a $365 fine. An impeding traffic violation was dismissed, and for driving without insurance, Dixon ordered Martin to pay a $10 fine. For driving on, and pleading to, third offense driving on suspended license, Martin took another 11/29 suspended sentence and a fine of $115. Madisonville Police Patrol Sergeant Adam Russell charged Martin with the offenses on December 1, when he stopped Martin for driving too slowly in the hammer lane of Highway 411 and found him intoxicated.
