Brothers in custody, await charges after spree
Davis reportedly saw the Holland brothers laugh and start to leave their car, only to be deterred when her son’s boxer, Myla, “became very agitated and began to charge” Jeremy Holland, according to Cook’s affidavit. The brothers retreated to their car and left.
Davis called authorities just before 1:48 p.m.
At 2:09 p.m., Cook was traveling north on South 490 Road, nearing the Kansas state line, when he spotted a silver Charger with a license-plate number matching Lester’s description parked in a driveway along the road.
Not long before, the owner of the driveway and the residence to which it leads, Carrie Stotts, had told the Holland brothers to leave her house. This was after the brothers reportedly showed up soliciting help for the flat tire. Stotts was going to furnish them with a jack and a tire tool, and even lend them her cell phone so they could call for help, when she saw them inside her house “looking around,” according to Cook’s affidavit.
Twice Stotts asked them to leave, and after the second time, they did.
When Cook confronted the brothers, Jason Holland told the sergeant: “You don’t know who you are f---ing with! I have spent 10 years in prison and am (Aryan Brotherhood) and I am not scared of you!” according to the affidavit.
Jason Holland, Cook wrote, then took an aggressive stance toward him before Cook took him to the ground. Cook wrote that when Jeremy Holland approached him and started shouting, he drew his weapon and ordered Jeremy Holland to the ground.
Cook arrested both men. Lester later went to Stotts’ residence and identified the brothers as the men in the Charger, prompting Jeremy Holland to say: “It was me.”
“Jason Holland then told Jeremy Holland to be quiet,” Cook wrote in the affidavit.
