An absconder from Hope House has been arrested six months after he cut off his GPS tracker while he was away from the Holiday Road facility.
21-year-old Travis Holman Jr. was booked into the Johnson County Jail just before 2:45 Saturday morning. He was sentenced to Hope House after pleading guilty to a 1st Degree Theft charge in 2019. Holman and an accomplice reportedly robbed a man at gunpoint on Wayne Avenue during a drug deal earlier that year. A 1st Degree Robbery charge was dropped in a plea deal with prosecutors.
Holman was fitted with a GPS tracking device in September of 2021. On January 27th of this year Holman signed out of Hope House to go to work third shift at Oral B Remedy on Highway 1 West. But less than an hour after leaving Hope House, a residential officer received a report from the GPS command center indicating that Holman has cut off his tracker.
Holman is now charged with Absence From Custody.
