Court records report that just after 1am on Wednesday the 30^th of October, a still unnamed repossession agent arrived at the quiet gated community home of Brian and Lori Martin of Wellington to recover a Maserati. Having successfully lifting it, the agent reported that the borrower, Brian Martin is reported to have rushed out of the home shirtless and with a black pistol in hand.

Wisely, the agent fled. But as he stopped at the community gates to secure the vehicle, Brian Martin came back and opened fire on the agent as his wife Lori was at the wheel of their Mercedes SUV.

The report states that the Martins proceeded to chase the Repossessor along Lake Worth Road, while Brian allegedly fired additional shots from the passenger seat as the agent called 911.

In the frantic body camera video, you can hear the repossessor on his call with 911 operators reporting the incident.

Responding police stopped the Mercedes and arrested both of the Martins. Inside the Mercedes, deputies found a semi-automatic handgun and a bullet. When interviewed, the couple were reported to have admitted their intention to reclaim the Maserati from the agent and Brian also admitted to having fired the weapon to intimidate the driver.

Brian Martin faces charges of attempted second-degree murder and aggravated assault with a weapon. Lori Martin also faces an attempted second-degree murder charge. Both are scheduled to appear in court again in December.

In a court filing this week, Brian Martin’s public defender asked for his bond to be reduced to $55,000.

“This is an isolated incident where Mr. Martin’s vehicle was being towed under unclear circumstances in the dead of night. He was awoken in the early morning hours to his car alarm going off. It was a chaotic situation, and unlikely to ever be replicated again,” the filing said.
