Nebraska Man Arrested for 226th Time
By Associated Press

LINCOLN, Neb. - Kevin Holder's rap sheet is 43 pages long, dating back to 1980, and he just got another entry _ his 226th arrest. Police say they caught him Sunday morning after a brief chase and found burglar tools in his possession.

"He's very well-known to Lincoln police officers," Police Chief Tom Casady said.

Holder's convictions include criminal mischief, marijuana possession, violation of protection order, assault, resisting arrest, assault on an officer, possession of cocaine. Many were misdemeanors, but he also has been sentenced to at least three prison terms for felonies, including a four-year stretch starting in 1996.

"Your average Nebraskan thinks after a prisoner has committed a certain number of crimes (he) will be put away for a long period of time. That doesn't happen," Casady said.

Lancaster County Attorney Gary Lacey said Holder was charged Tuesday with felony possession of burglar tools and prosecutors will urge a judge to treat Holder as a habitual criminal. With another felony conviction, that could result in a sentence of up to 60 years. Holder remained behind bars Tuesday afternoon.

Holder's list of arrests doesn't come close to setting a record for Lincoln-Lancaster County. He's No. 40, police spokeswoman Katherine Finnell said Tuesday.

A number of people have more than 500 arrests in the city of 226,000 people. The record was held by Edward Rooks, who died in 2004, with 652 arrests.

WOW!

I guess Nebraska doesn't have any "3 strikes you're out" laws.

I know you're joking, but fuck job security, the guy should rot in prison.

My opinion about priors is valid when it comes to the sentencing phase

Actually I got rejected a couple of weeks ago for an ordinance violation case... Funny you should ask... But the first question he asked is "which of the Town's cops and politicians do you know?" After I started listing all I could think of, he stopped me in the middle and said that's enough, you're out.

He was representing himself, and never asked me what I think of his ordinance violations... I woulda actually been an ally, most probably, since I'm pretty much of the opinion that the town is too restrictive.
