Laurie said at that time, Martin fled into Missouri.
Martin is also facing charges for distribution of more than 3 ½ grams of methamphetamine, distribution of a prescription only drug, possession of stolen property, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

His bond is set at $30,000.
