PADUCAH – A man accused of shooting another man in Georgia was arrested Friday in Paducah.

Officer Brandon Jones received information that Michael R. Martin was at a local hotel and that there were warrants for his arrest.

Jones followed up and learned Martin was charged in a warrant from Georgia with trafficking cocaine and marijuana and aggravated assault with a weapon.

Officers managed to get two other people out of the room, then waited for Martin to exit. When he did, he was arrested as a fugitive from justice.

He was booked into McCracken County Regional Jail, awaiting extradition to Georgia.
