The suspension begins immediately, officials said during a press conference tonight.
Martin also must take part in a psychological evaluation dealing with anger management, his attorney, Gary James of Oklahoma City, said.
The punishment was negotiated between OHP, Martin and his attorney, James said.
"I still stand by my belief that his actions do not warrant any suspension, but my client agreed to these terms for the betterment of the department and to put this behind him," James said.
Jones said that within the OHP there was a "difference of opinion" as to Martin's actions that day on U.S. 62 in Okfuskee County near Paden.
