Las Vegas cops find severed head in pickup truck during traffic stop
2021-12-28
[NYPOST] Police in Las Vegas made a gruesome discovery during a routine traffic stop in the gambling mecca — a severed head.
"Ew! Yuck! Gruesome!"
"Really gruesome!"
"It don't get no gruesomer than that!"
Cops pulled over 57-year-old Eric Holland near the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino on Thursday, and found he was sought on an outstanding warrant for theft and embezzlement dating to 2019, KLAS-TV reported Saturday.
"Theft and embezzlement, huh? Lemme see that license and registration again!"
Holland had to be tased during the bust.
"Lend me yer taser, Fritz! Mine's on the... you know."
When police searched the bed of his truck, they found several large coolers and discovered there were human remains stashed inside — including the severed head, the outlet said.
"Hey! Is this your head?"
"Nope. This one's mine... And stop tasing me!"
Holland now faces murder charges and is due to appear in Las Vegas court Monday.
”Whereas the defendant being found in possession of a human head not his own..."
Police have not said whether the remains found in the truck have been identified.

No additional information was immediately released.

#12  They jumped right to murder -- isn't that presuming he didn't just find it, or collect it from a pre-existing corpse?

Nope, won't continue that dark humor this early.
