Lincoln, NE -- 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.

Apparently, he can't make up his mind what he wants to do when he grows up...

At least he changes it up every now and then. Some drug charges, then B & E, then some assualt. He must just ask the other inmates what they were in for, then he goes out and does the same crime.

Wonder if he ever tells these stories to his grandkids. That would last a long time, but interesting.

So what is the definition of habitual? Apparently it isn't 226.

LOL! Or maybe he's just trying to find some kind of criminal activity that he's good enough at to avoid arrest.

 

Apparently, he hasn't found it yet...

Yeah the smart criminals never get caught!!!!

So he has gotten out of jail 225 times (I assume he is locked up for the 226th offense.)? What kind of legal system do we have? It should, at the very least, be strike one, strike two, strike three and your out! I hope Bill O'Reilly of Fox News picks this up.
