Multi-Agency Manhunt Nets Felon In Porter
At approximately 5:30pm on Wednesday (5/18/16), a Montgomery County Pct. 4 deputy was dispatched to the area of Ford Road/Mills Branch Dr. on the possible whereabouts of Jerry Lee Holland. Holland was wanted for three felony warrants and one assault - family violence warrant out of Montgomery County.
While en route, the deputy was given a description of the suspect's vehicle (pickup truck) over the phone. The deputy located the truck as it left the Quick Food Mart on Ford Rd. The vehicle then turned Eastbound on Ford Road. The deputy followed the truck to the Porter Square Apartments while waiting on another deputy.
The deputy made contact with two males in the truck and ordered them to place their hands on the steering wheel. At this time Holland began to get very agitated and stated, “I’m not going back to jail, you gonna have to shoot me”. Marc Bane (passenger) then attempted to calm Holland down and physically fought with Holland over the keys to the ignition. Holland was able to gain control of the keys and reinserted them into the ignition, and stated once again that he wanted the deputy to shoot him. Bane then exited the vehicle saying, “I’m not gonna get involved in this”, and placed his hands in air. Holland then turned the wheel sharply to the right, backed up quickly, and attempted to strike the deputy with the front of the driver’s side of the vehicle. The deputy backpedaled quickly and was able to avoid being struck by the pickup. Holland then drove forward at a high rate of speed, driving over curb and grass, then Westbound on Ford Road.
After a few miles of traveling at high speeds, driving on the wrong side of the road, and side-swiping a minivan, Holland was able to eventually elude the deputy by driving down a pipe line and a large muddy yard where the deputies patrol vehicle could not follow.
With the assistance of the DPS Helicopter, three HCSO K-9 units, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, and pinging Holland’s cell phone, Holland was located just before 11pm. He was apprehended specifically with the assistance of HCSO K-9 “DARK” and his handler Deputy Graves.
Holland was arrested on the alleged Aggravated Assault on a Public Servant and Evading Arrest in a Motor Vehicle charges as well as the outstanding warrants. He was transported to the Montgomery County Jail in Conroe, Texas, and received a total bond of $525,000.
Constable Rowdy Hayden said, “We could not have done it without the cooperation of Harris County Sheriff’s Office, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, Houston Police, DPS Air and Humble ISD Police that responded to the scene to assist.”
