A drug trafficker known to frequent Hood River and other communities in the Columbia River Gorge, was sentenced to federal prison Tuesday after fleeing a traffic stop at nearly 120 mph, crashing his vehicle, and being found in possession of methamphetamine, heroin, and two firearms. Jonathen Michael Martinez, 42-years-old and most recently a Portland resident, was sentenced to 84 months in federal prison and five years’ supervised release. According to court documents, on January 25, 2019, a Hood River Police officer observed Martinez driving through Hood River, recognizing Martinez from previous contacts and aware he had an outstanding arrest warrant. When the officer initiated a traffic stop, Martinez fled eastbound on Interstate 84 at nearly 120 mph. Martinez exited the highway, lost control of his vehicle, crashed, and briefly fled on foot before surrendering. His vehicle was found to contain more than 600 grams of methamphetamine, 30 grams of heroin, and two firearms. At the time of his arrest, Martinez was on probation for a state drug trafficking conviction. He has 23 prior criminal convictions for various drug, weapon, theft, and assault offenses as well as several for resisting, eluding, and obstructing officers during previous encounters with law enforcement.
