In 2019, Deputy Holcomb participated in the arrest of an elderly amputee, employing a wrist-to-ankle handcuffing method that resulted in physical injuries to the arrestee. The incident led to a lawsuit alleging excessive force and constitutional violations. The court deemed the actions unreasonable but granted qualified immunity to the deputies.
