Martin died earlier this week while attempting to stop a vehicle driven by Ian Cramer, 42, the son of U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer. Ian Cramer had stolen a family vehicle in Bismarck and led officers on a pursuit in Mercer County before crashing into Martin’s squad vehicle.
Martin was 53 and is survived by his wife and three children.
