Tweet

Doug Martin was a former all pro running back for the Tampa Bay Bucs. He was a fan favorite and was selected one of the top 50 players in franchise history. His style also gave him a nick name of the "Muscle Hamster." On Saturday, around 4:15am, a break in was called in and of course police go to investigate. Martin was involved in this break in, he struggled while police attempted to detain him. Once on police custody, 36 year old, Douglas Martin became unresponsive. Martin's parents sought to clarify the situation for everyone. He had suffered from mental illness and his parents were trying to arrange for him to get help. Martin became overwhelmed and disoriented so he fled from their house to a neighbor two doors down. The house that was being "broken into" and where the police had taken him into custody. An investigation is being conducted to find out exactly what happened during the arrest. *all info came from ESPN*
