A gun stolen during an October burglary in Knoxville was recovered last month after a Colfax man pulled the weapon on officers during an altercation.
Knoxville Police Chief Dan Losada says the gun that 24-year-old Matthew Holett pulled on Colfax Police in mid-December was taken from Coast Hardware when the store was burglarized in October.
Holett was arrested and charged in Jasper County with interference with official acts, carrying a weapon, third degree theft, and drug charges. It’s not known if Holett will also be charged in the burglary of Coast Hardware.
