On October 26, the Vice Mayor of Richmond, Eduardo Martinez, was the victim of vice in his own town: After emceeing a Chamber of Commerce-endorsed candidates' forum at Rigger's Loft Wine Company, a tasting room in Point Richmond, he was robbed at gunpoint. "He comes out with a revolver, pulls it out and waves it back and forth, telling us to give him our wallets," Martinez told NBC Bay Area. "When I saw the gun, I put my hands up." Martinez surrendered his wallet and phone, and the robber took off in a stolen car, which was captured on video. A suspect is now in custody, facing armed robbery and auto theft charges. "I think this illustrates how good our police department works when it’s doing what it’s supposes to do," Martinez told NBC Bay Area.

But it also sounds like Martinez could owe local law enforcement another debt of gratitude. In a follow up report, ABC 7 learns what you may have been able to infer from the scene of the crime — a wine loft. A Richmond Police Department Supplemental Narrative obtained by the news station adds that after the robbery occurred, Martinez drove a city vehicle 2.2 miles to the nearest place he could find a phone, The Marina Bay Inn and Suites, to call police. Did no one have a cell phone he could borrow?

When Richmond Police Department Sgt. Timothy Gard arrived to meet Martinez, Martinez reportedly appeared intoxicated. "As I listened to victim Martinez describe the events of the robbery, I could smell the strong odor of alcohol coming from his person," reads the supplemental narrative. "His slow-paced narrative and mannerisms were indicators he was probably under the influence of alcohol."

Sgt. Gard offered Martinez a ride home, which Martinez tells ABC 7 he had assumed was a polite gesture. Martinez had no identification, after all, since his wallet had been stolen. Not so: "For victim Martinez's and the public's safety I did not want him driving home," Gard wrote in the report. "I transported victim Martinez to his residence."

Gard also moved the city car Martinez had driven to a city yard. But a police representative insists that Martinez received no special treatment."If you are a victim of a robbery or any type of crime we're going to try to make sure you are as comfortable as possible," that spokesperson said. God forbid I'm the victim of a crime anytime soon, but just so the Richmond Police department knows, I'm personally most comfortable with some wines from Rigger's Loft.
