While speaking to Holland, the Troopers smelled marijuana emanating from inside his vehicle which resulted in a small amount of marijuana being found inside his vehicle. Holland was then charged with DWAI after failing multiple roadside tests and transported to SP Jamestown where he was evaluated by a State Police Drug Recognition Expert. As two minor children were in the vehicle Holland was driving, he was additionally charged with two counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child.
Holland was processed, issued tickets returnable to the Town of Ellicott Court and released with orders to re-appear next month to answer the charges.
