Martin Trial Begins In Benton

The first witness was called Tuesday morning in the federal drug-trafficking, weapons and witness-tampering trial of Gallatin County Sheriff Raymond Martin.

Jeremy Potts testified about his involvement in a marijuana business with Martin. His testimony will continue Tuesday afternoon - Potts is expected to be on the stand all day.

Potts was laid off around November 2008 and in need of money. About Thanksgiving, Martin arrived at Potts' mobile home to speak with him.
"I assumed he was there to question me, so I hopped in the vehicle to see what was going on," Potts said.
