LINCOLN, Neb. – Kevin Holder’s rap sheet is 43 pages long, dating back to 1980, and he just got another entry – his 226th arrest.
Police say they caught him Sunday morning after a brief chase and found burglar tools in his possession.
“He’s very well-known to Lincoln police officers,” Police Chief Tom Casady said.
Holder’s convictions include criminal mischief, marijuana possession, violation of protection order, assault, resisting arrest, assault on an officer, possession of cocaine. Many were misdemeanors, but he also has been sentenced to at least three prison terms for felonies, including a four-year stretch starting in 1996.
Lancaster County attorney Gary Lacey said Holder was charged Tuesday with felony possession of burglar tools. With another felony conviction, that could result in a sentence of up to 60 years.
Holder’s list of arrests doesn’t come close to setting a record for Lincoln-Lancaster County. He’s No. 40, police spokeswoman Katherine Finnell said Tuesday.
The record was held by Edward Rooks, who died in 2004, with 652 arrests.
