A single vehicle collision on Friday morning (12/01) led to the arrest of a Hopkinsville man who was found to be in possession of a handgun and driving under the influence.
According to an arrest citation from Deputy Danny Collings, units responded to a crash on Russellville Rd at approximately 6:00 am where they discovered the driver, 43-year-old Jason Holleman, who appeared to manifestly under the influence of some type of substance. Deputies conducted field sobriety tests and was told by Holleman that had ingested methamphetamine approximately 12 hours before the crash. Holleman, a convicted felon, was also in possession of a loaded handgun. A search of the vehicle yielded marijuana.
During his arrest and transport, Holleman stated to units that he “is going to be on the news” and proceeded to threaten Collings with bodily harm. Holleman became further agitated at the jail and became physically combative.
Holleman was charged with the following:
- Operating a Motor Vehicle Under the Influence
