Parolee charged with assault

A parolee who has been out of prison for over a year may see his parole revoked.  That is because thirty year old Eric Martinez, also known as “Junie H”, who was shot in the buttocks last Thursday, is now accused in an assault that took place prior to the shooting.  Martinez was shot last Thursday night while riding his bicycle at the corner of Lancaster and Castle Streets.  He has been hospitalized up to Monday but Martinez was released directly into the arms of the police.  That’s because police say there was a report made prior to Martinez being shot by Chenique Robinson.  Robinson alleges that earlier that same day she was standing at the corner of Kelly Street and Freetown Road when Martinez approached her and pulled out a handgun and pointed it at her and threatened her.  This morning, Martinez appeared in the Magistrate’s Court where he was arraigned for Aggravated Assault.  Martinez is due back before the court on March nineteenth.  Martinez was convicted of robbery and was sentenced to six years.  He had already spent four of that six behind bars and was granted parole a year ago.  Meanwhile, police have not made any arrests yet for the shooting that has left him injured.
