D/FW: KEGL's Russ Martin Robbed At Home


Police are investigating an aggravated robbery that occurred Wednesday night at the home of popular KEGL 97.1 FM PM Drive personality Russ Martin.

According to police, three armed men wearing masks confronted Martin on Wednesday shortly after he arrived home in Stonebriar Creek Estates, a gated community northwest of the Dallas.

The Dallas Morning News reports the men led Martin inside the home, where they held him at gunpoint while they removed valuables from the place, according to police. The suspects fled in Martin’s black 2010 Dodge Challenger.

Martin, who is host of The Russ Martin Show on weekdays on iHeartMedia's "The Eagle" was not injured. Police were called at about 9 p.m.

Martin was apparently duct-taped to a chair by robbers demanding jewelry.

Martin is a big fan of law enforcement and first-responders. His RMN Listeners Foundation supports the families of Dallas-Fort Worth police officers and firefighters who have courageously fallen in the line of duty.
