On April 22, 23-year-old Austin Scylor Holliman was arrested after deputies executed a search warrant at a residence on White’s Creek Pike in Joelton, TN. According to officials, evidence linking Holliman to several burglaries was discovered at the residence.
Other suspects have been identified and charges will likely follow, officials said. Holliman is currently being held in the Robertson County Detention Facility in Springfield on charges of burglary and theft of property under a $136,000 bond.. Additional charges are pending within Robertson County and other surrounding Middle Tennessee counties, officials said.
This is not Austin’s first run-in with the law. On March 6th, 2017 Holliman, was arrested and charged with one count of commission of acts of terrorism after it was found he was responsible for calling in bomb threats to Robertson County Schools.
Holliman, a former Greenbrier student, pled guilty to conspiracy to commit terroristic threats in the Circuit Court of Robertson County and was sentenced to 8 years (one year to serve in jail and seven years on supervised probation). FULL STORY
