ECSO: Suspect Shoved Deputy, Ran Out Of His Shoes During Cottage Hill Foot Chase

May 30, 2019

Deputies say a Cantonment man literally ran out of his shoes while being chased by deputies in Cottage Hill, and he is also accused of shoving a deputy.

Cody Brooks Holland, 22, was charged with felony battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence and possession of drug paraphernalia.

An Escambia County deputy was on patrol on Williams Ditch Road  when he observed two males sitting on top of a rock in front of the Cottage Hill Baptist Church. They told him they were just waiting for a ride. When the deputy ran a radio check on Holland, he was informed he had an outstanding failure to appear warrant.

When the deputy proceeded to handcuff Holland, he asked to hug his friend and proceeded to do so without waiting for answer, an arrest report states.

When the deputy attempted to handcuff him, he pushed his friend and deputy away, according to the report. The deputy gave chase as Holland ran eastbound on Williams Ditch Road.

After repeated warnings during the chase, the deputy fired his taser at Holland but missed. The deputy tripped and fell on the taser wires, suffering an abrasion to his elbow. He observed Holland run behind a home on Williams Ditch Road.

A perimeter was established, and an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit arrived to assist in the search. Holland literally ran out of his shoes, which were located on Williams Ditch Road, according to the ECSO.

When Holland was located, he claimed he did feel a taser probe behind his leg. Escambia Fire Rescue responded, but he refused medical treatment.

In a black bookbag that had allegedly been in Holland’s possession, deputies reported finding a broken glass pipe, three baggies of suspected spice and Holland’s identification.

Holland remained in the Escambia County Jail Thursday morning.

    @Tee bug I understand what you are saying. I am sure he IS a good young man! Our youth mature much later than they did back in the day. I blame this on the parents & society! It takes BOTH parents to work to make it these days. These children are left home alone from a young age as NO CHOICE of their of own . It’s sad but it’s the cold hard TRUTH! I wish it was like it USED TO BE, before OUR GOVERNMENT DECIDED TO DESTROY THE FAMILY UNIT! They did it slowly, but they did it, We fell for it! Don’t believe? Research for yourself! Maybe instead of bashing this young man, PRAY for him instead. He NEEDS our prayers and encouragement! What happened to the good old days when the community came together for each other? Supported one another? The government can’t take this away from us!

    Not a “good boy” as he has made poor choices to break the law. Have raised 4 of our own kids in a good, loving home, taught how to have a personal relationship with Christ and read the Bible. Yet 2 of them have made very poor choices and feel entitled because that’s the type people they choose to hang around and because they would rather “be popular” and go with the crowd. Had to do some tough love and allow them pay the price for their mistakes….yes that was jail time for 1 of them because of drugs and many probation violations. As much as you try to raise them right they will make their own choices; they even knowingly making poor decisions because “it’s more fun” and they are so afraid of being considered boring. The hope is that one day they will return back to the values they have been taught and realize just how selfish they have been. Cannot take away someones freewill! Done spending money on an adult child that refuses to learn from previous mistakes…at that point it’s not helping them…it’s enabling them! Probably will be the same for this kid! Some just have to keep learning the hard way because they want nothing to do with those in position of authority!

    Tee bug. Did you not read the article? How does this guy have good qualities? Jail time will be his mentor.

    He should have tied his shoelaces tighter!

    @ Tee Bug
    Then why haven’t you been his mentor. Making bad decisions in life has consequences and one must be willing to accept them when doing wrong.
