He doesn’t believe he overreacted Saturday night, just before 11 p.m., when he saw a strange car — with a strange man driving — drop his daughter off.
She’d snuck out of the house, took an Uber to Pensacola and was returning home.
Hollonbeck says he called both the Santa Rosa County and Escambia County sheriff’s offices when his daughter was gone, asking for guidance after she snuck out.
He says the lack of help led to him making a split-decision to pull the Uber driver from the car at gunpoint until the driver identified himself.
Instead of using this for a defense, he should apologize publicly to the Uber driver and then tell everyone he really overreacted and screwed up.
He’s a veteran. He should just man up and admit he was wrong.
He wouldn’t be the first to screw up and admit he was wrong do what he did and it keeps his honor cleaner.
I’m on his side.
