Las Vegas cops made a startling discovery on Thursday when they found a severed head in the truck of a suspect wanted on theft and embezzlement charges.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Eric Holland was wanted on charges of using another person's ID, auto embezzlement of more than $3,500, intent to use a false check and theft of more than $3,500 when he was stopped by Metropolitan Police near the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino at around 3.42pm on Thursday.
Holland, 57, reportedly fled the scene, but the Metropolitan Police Department's air unit followed him and saw Holland switch trucks.
Police tried to stop the second truck, but Holland fled again before ultimately being located at an apartment complex near the 4200 block of Rochelle Avenue.
He allegedly threw things at officers and tried to run away before cops Tased and he was booked into the Clarke County Detention Center.
But as the cops searched his trucks - both of which had been reported stolen - they found the gruesome discovery.
One of the truck beds had large coolers in it, which police found contained human remains - including the severed head. The Metropolitan Police Department's Homicide Unit has now taken over the investigation and identified Holland as the suspect, according to the Review-Journal.
Holland is now due in court on Tuesday morning, where he will face an additional charge of open murder.
It is unclear who the victim of the apparent homicide is and whether they are connected to Holland's 2019 charges.

Nah, he's too "buried" in his work.
Horrible scene. Horrific. And the one scene I’ve never been able to watch is the guy in the vice. That stuff did happen, only the brothers weren’t beat to death in Vegas. iirc it was an Illinois garage or basement of a home.
Ironic that it was “Billy Batts” that did it, LOL!
Really? That was his name? sheesh...
Cooler heads did not prevail evidently.

“Judge… this is not what it looks like!…. I’ve got a story to tell you… funny story too.. You’re gonna laugh…”
Can’t stand the movie Casino. Hubby loves it. I don’t need to watch it to see an evil, conniving wife and criminal mob action. That would be hubby’s ex-shrew.
