The backstory:
The 52-year-old has a rap sheet nearly 30 pages long. That includes charges for robbery with use of force, possession with intent to distribute, resisting and obstructing.
In 2020, the Milwaukee man was indicted on a federal gun charge. He spent more than four years in prison and was put on supervised release. In July of this year, he was stopped by Milwaukee police on the city’s south side.

"He was pulled over, they were able to locate some drugs, a lot of US currency, cash, indicative of dealing drugs," the marshal said.
Holland was arrested and released before a federal detainer could be put in place. Authorities advised Holland he had to report to the probation office. When U.S. Marshals said he refused, a warrant was issued for his arrest.
"Mr. Holland agreed not to show up and essentially said he was going to go on the run," the marshal said.
