A Dubach police officer arrested a local man last week for speeding and other charges after the man allegedly cursed and threatened him.
Chris Holland, 46, of Dubach, was arrested June 4 for speeding, illegal carrying of a weapon, and possession of marijuana after he was stopped for traveling at a high rate of speed on a residential street.
And officers report said Holland was driving a Ford pickup west on Boulevard at an accelerated rate of speed. The officer paced the pickup on a parallel street, noting it was traveling 30 to 40 mph in a residential neighborhood.
Once Holland was stopped, he exited the truck and allegedly raised his voice, cursed, and threatened to beat the officer.
When asked if he had any weapons on him, Holland reportedly said he had a knife. While the officer attempted to retrieve a large lock-blade knife clipped to Holland’s pocket, Holland allegedly continued to shout threats.
The report noted Holland took a fighting stance and did not comply with the search until the officer produced a chemical agent.
Holland was arrested and taken to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center where a small marijuana cigarette was found in a cigarette package.
