A Florida man accused of brandishing a firearm and driving while intoxicated last year was sentenced to 12 months of supervised probation following a hearing on his case earlier this month.
Jon Holland was arrested Nov. 16 after the Leesburg Police Department received calls just before 1 a.m. regarding an intoxicated man brandishing a firearm after being escorted out of an establishment. Officers were told Holland retrieved the gun from his vehicle after being kicked out of the restaurant.
They arrived to find him driving in the parking lot. Holland was charged with brandishing a firearm, carrying a handgun while intoxicated and driving while intoxicated. Officers found a loaded, unsecured firearm inside the vehicle.
In an agreement with the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, Holland pleaded guilty to driving while under the influence and was sentenced to 90 days in jail, which was suspended pending 12 months of abiding by the terms of his probation. He was also required to pay just over $500 in fines and court costs. The Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office did not prosecute the brandishing or carrying while intoxicated charge.
A hearing to review the case is set for March 5, 2027.
