HOLDENVILLE, Okla. --
An Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper who was suspended after a scuffle with an EMT last May has been accused once again.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol confirmed Trooper Daniel Martin is on administrative leave following a traffic stop in Holdenville on Saturday night.
Highway Patrol spokesman Capt. Chris West said Martin and another trooper pulled over and arrested a person during the incident.
Following the arrest, a person contacted the Highway Patrol to say they would like to file a complaint against the troopers. Both men are on leave pending the investigation.
West said they are trying to gather all the details which could include viewing the troopers on board dash camera.
The captain said the results of the investigation as well as the dash camera video will be made public once the investigation is completed.
Martin was suspended by the Highway Patrol for five days in July following a highly-publicized incident with an EMT.
Cell phone and dash cam video showed Daniel grabbing the neck of paramedic Maurice White.
Daniel said he pulled over the paramedic because he failed to give him the right-of-way while he responded to a call.
He was ordered to undergo anger management counseling.
