(April 27, 2017) Erica Holland, 31, of Snow Hill was arrested Tuesday afternoon at her place of employment at Town Hall in Snow Hill, but no charges have been filed against her as of press time.
Up until yesterday at least, she was employed as a receptionist for the town. The locks on the doors of Town Hall have been changed.
Police Chief Tom Davis said Holland was arrested around 1 p.m. yesterday, and released. Snow Hill police could not say when charges would be filed or what they might entail.
The State’s Attorney’s office did not respond to requests for comment.
Town Manager Kelly Pruitt refused to confirm Holland’s employment status or salary and referred all inquiries to Mike Lupiwok at the county Criminal Bureau of Investigations.
Pruitt provided a printed statement: “Anyone requesting information on the matter of Erica Holland should contact Mike Lupiwok, at Worcester C.B.I., 410-632-2080. Everyone should advise that they have no comment on the situation.”
Holland is married to Fulton Holland, assistant warden at the Worcester County Jail. Because of the recent death of Warden Garry Mumford, Fulton Holland, along with Donna Bounds, both assistant wardens, are in charge of the day-to-day operations of the jail, County Administrator Harold Higgins confirmed.
Lupiwok said he could not comment on an active investigation.
Mayor Charlie Dorman did not respond to calls for comment.
Ocean City Today and Bayside Gazette have filed a Maryland Public Information Act request for Holland’s employment information and salary.
