Deputy Paul Martin, 53, was a married father of three and an 18-year veteran of the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office. His funeral begins Wednesday afternoon at the high school in Beulah, North Dakota, followed by a procession of local emergency responders through town.
Martin’s loss has shaken the community, where even people he arrested praised him. Sheriff Terry Ternes, in a post to the department’s Facebook page, called Martin “our beloved brother in law enforcement, a husband, father, and grandpa. Our wound is raw, and our hearts are broken.”
