In 2021, Deputy Holzer was involved in a shooting incident where he fired four shots at an inmate, Mr. Assance, immediately after a Taser was deployed by another deputy. The lawsuit alleges that Deputy Holzer mistook the sound of the Taser for gunfire and shot Assance because he believed Assance had fired upon Deputy Kraft. The suit also claims that Deputy Holzer admitted he did not observe Assance with a gun in his hand before firing at him. The case is ongoing as of February 2024.
