Charges Dropped Against McKinney Teen Who Tried To Help Young Girl Calling For Her Momma

“Our policies, our training and our practice do not support his actions,” Conley said during a press conference Tuesday evening.

He also announced that his department had dropped the case against 18-year-old Adrian Martin. In the video, Martin is one of two teens who appear to approach Casebolt and then run away when he pulls out his gun.

Police had charged him with misdemeanor crimes of evading arrest and interfering with police. A police report dated Friday says Martin ran from police for two to three minutes before he was caught. Authorities did not charge the other teen or the girl Casebolt pinned to the ground for disobeying him.

In an interview before Casebolt’s resignation Tuesday, Martin said he only wanted to reassure the girl, who goes to school with his brother, that he would call her mother. He said he didn’t mean to infringe on the officer’s space, but his friend bumped into him, knocking him toward Casebolt.

When Casebolt whipped out his weapon, Martin said he feared for his life. “Am I going to get shot?” he thought.

1. I called McKinney Assistant Chief of Police this

morning and asked him if it was a defense for the charges that Cheif of Police Colbey said that Casebolt's actions were indefenseble and if the Cheif would agree that any normal person would fear being arrested by Casebolt and any normal person would instinctively flee the area when Casebolt pulled his service revolver.

I hope that helped an some way in the laws eyes to drop the charges.
