Rhinelander police sergeant dies of wounds in Iraq Associated Press RHINELANDER, Wis. - A Rhinelander police sergeant and Army reservist has died from wounds suffered in Iraq in an attack that killed another Wisconsin reservist, police said. Staff Sgt. Steven G. Martin, 39, died Friday at Walter Reed Army Medical Center after life supports were discontinued, according to a press release from the Rhinelander Police Department. He had been flown to Washington, D.C., Wednesday from a medical facility in Germany. Martin, a member of the Sheboygan-based Army Reserve 330th Military Police Detachment, suffered severe head and abdominal injuries when a truck bomb exploded June 24 near his checkpoint outside a U.S. military compound at Mosul. Sgt. Charles Kiser, 37, of Cleveland, Wis., who also was with the 330th, was killed in the suicide attack. His funeral was held Thursday. Martin, a New Jersey native, joined the Rhinelander police force in February 1996. He spent most summers on the city's bicycle patrol and also worked in city schools. He and another officer conducted bicycle rodeos, instructing children how to ride bikes safely. He previously served in the military and decided in January 2003 to join the Sheboygan-based 330th, Police Chief Glenn Parmeter said. His unit was activated in December and arrived in Iraq a few months later. Funeral arrangements were pending Friday evening, police said.
