Brian Martin Employs Max Dotson

 

When Brian Martin had a dozen checks stolen in early 2020, he immediately contacted Listerhill Credit Union. A short time later, a man allegedly unknown to Martin attempted to cash one of these checks for $3,000.00. The credit union informed Martin, who then sought to have the forger arrested.

While we don't have all the details of the issue, the Colbert County District Attorney's office refused to prosecute. Martin then employed a private detective in order to secure more evidence against the thief. The detective's name was Max Dotson, a Sheffield police officer who had previously been let go from the City of Florence.

Brian Martin was, for whatever reason, greatly dissatisfied with Dotson and asked this blog if we could refer him to another detective. We did that; however, apparently the two never made contact. We heard no more about the story after that.

If you look at the stolen check, you will see that it lists the name "Martin Enterprises." We have no idea if this company was profitable or perhaps was simply left over from before Martin's manslaughter conviction.

Did Max Dotson believe that Brian Martin was wealthy? It would seem that way or he wouldn't have bothered to sue his shooter. Is there money in this account or another as yet unknown? That we don't know, but we maintain any money that Mr. Martin may have should go to the families of his two victims.

Now the State Bureau of Investigation is looking into the Dotson-Martin connection. On the afternoon of October 1st, we don't believe Martin knew who was pursuing him. The SBI report should clarify the issue and be extremely interesting reading.
