Holland identified himself to these subjects as a “Maryland State Trooper” and began to question this subject’s sobriety before putting him through a battery of field sobriety tests. Upon finishing these, Holland had this subject and his teenage daughter sit on the curb following a “pat down” of the father while he searched their vehicle for drugs.
It was at this point that staff from the Delmarva Shorebirds approached and Holland attempted to runaway. While running, Holland discarded an item that would be identified as a Delaware Department of Corrections badge. Upon speaking to witnesses it was learned that Holland was brandishing the badge while identifying himself as a law enforcement officer. Holland is not a law enforcement officer in any jurisdiction. Deputies on scene determined that Holland was under the influence of alcohol.
Holland was placed under arrest and became uncooperative with the arresting deputy. Besides being verbally abusive, Holland forced one of the deputies to have to carry him to the patrol vehicle for transport to the Sheriff’s Office.
Upon presentation to the District Court Commissioner, Holland was detained on a bond of $10,000.00.

Undercover police and unmarked police vehicles will always be a problem.There is no way around having them,but the reality lends itself to abuse.People don't want to resist arrest or refuse to pull their car over.A good 50% of those who did resist arrest and or refused to obey the commands of a police officer in some way did so because the cop in question was in plain clothes.The courts refuse to listen when someone states that they were afraid to comply.
Here's a young man who is going to need some watching. And maybe some counseling?
12:52 BULL CRAP lol that stat is pulled from somewhere in your liberal rock you call a head. Most resist arrest because they are under the influence of a controlled substance or they are just plain old thugs. There are very few that get charged when they can articulate they feared stopping. They can pull into a public area that is well lit. The officer would also be safer.
I do not know where you got that stat but it is way off the mark. You can call Mr. Holder now and tell him this lie will not flush.
Oh by the way awesome work Sheriff's Office. The more I see these press releases the more I see how busy the police are in our county. Keep up the great work. That Simpson guy was just in court last. Why is he out so soon ????
Nothing good ever comes from people drinking.
Why would ANYONE want to pretend they are a cop? We don't even like the REAL ones much less a drunk wannabe.
