Ex OH Correction Officer Martin Lynn Robinson Arrested After Standoff Ends With Amherst SWAT Member Shot In Buttocks

The Amherst Ohio SWAT team member injured during a standoff in Sheffield Lake has been identified as 17-year veteran Eugene “JR” Ptacek.

Ptacek remains in critical condition on Friday after being shot in the buttocks during a shootout with suspect, Martin Lynn Robinson, a former Ohio state correction officer.

Ptacek was rushed to a local hospital via LifeFlight and was reported to be stabilized Thursday night.

Robinson was also suffered gunshot wounds to his leg and arm during the incident.

Robinson was wanted by the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office for firearms violations, sources say.

The U.S. Marshals Service said it received information Thursday morning that Robinson was at his house on Oliver Street, Sheffield Lake, Ohio.

“Our team conducted surveillance and opted to have Lorain County SWAT officers make entry due to Robinson’s weapons history and his well-documented confrontational nature with local law enforcement,” said the U.S. Marshals Service Northern District of Ohio, in a news release on Friday. “The Lorain Division had also obtained information that Robinson had previously threatened law enforcement with the weapons he had in his house.”

When the SWAT team tried to entered Robinson’s house, gunfire was exchanged. Robinson shot a team member in the buttocks and barricaded himself inside for nearly three hours, Marshals said.

After hours of on-and-off negotiations, Robinson surrendered at about 12:30 a.m.

He was transported to an area hospital where he was treated and later taken into custody.

Robinson’s condition was not immediately known.

Amherst police said Ptacek has been assigned to the Lorain County SWAT team for several years.

He remains listed in critical condition.
