HAMPTON – A violent accused meth dealer was caught by Hampton police Monday, but not before he allegedly struck the arresting officer.
Landon Gabriel Martin, no permanent address, was wanted since last December in Cerro Gordo county on two charges of felony C delivery of methamphetamine. A Hampton police officer encountered Martin on Manday, March 31, and attempted to arrest him, Chief Robert Schaefer told NIT, when Martin struck the officer. The officer was able to subdue Martin and take him into custody. He was found to have in his possession methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
Martin was taken to jail and booked.
Martin pleaded guilty last year in Cerro Gordo county to felony assault causing injury, but never showed up to be sentenced. A judge issued an warrant for his arrest in that case as well. He also pleaded guilty in 2013 to another charge of assault and spent 14 days in jail.

You can keep burying your head in the sand, or you can wake up and realize this system is harmful…what it’s doing to kids. It’d be one thing if a few kids fell thru the cracks and were “bad apples”, but it’s more than a few kids…it’s getting to be a large percentage. It’s institutional at this point…like a factory. Bad stupid parents, corrupted via blue collar slavery neglecting and abusing their kids, turns out constant supply of law enforcement fodder. Wake Up.
You have very good parents Peter, and look how you turned out, pitiful.
What parent would do this to their child? Make them bitter and unhappy? It’s the parents fault. I’m convinced of it. Stupid, ignorant, slave worker, abusive parents who screw up generation after generation of humans…while the State does nothing, and continues to let it happen. Hell, the law enforcement profits off of these, and even welcomes the dysfunction. It’s just tragically sick. Yet the parents will never understand…they are always right in this Bible Sicko World.
