Las Vegas Police Arrested Eric Holland- Who Is He?
Las Vegas metro police arrested Eric Holland. He is a 57 years old man. They discovered human remains inside his truck when they were taking him into custody on Thursday.
He had escaped from the police when they first spotted him. Later, they tasered him at a traffic stop near the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.
He was shortly arrested after police found large coolers in his truck bed. But shockingly discovered human remains, including a severed head inside the truck while checking it.
Police records show that he was charged for theft, embezzlement of a motor vehicle, and other unrelated charges in 2019. However, evidence suggests that he did not appear during Christmas at the scheduled court hearing.
The higher-ups have not provided any background information about him. He is identified as a driver only.
