Troy Police were dispatched to Hilltop Gas Station on Lincoln Drive after reports of a man refusing to leave the store.

Officers identified the individual as Hollis. Store personnel reported Hollis entered the business and asked to use their phone. When the request was denied, Hollis allegedly became aggressive, demanded the phone, and stated he was part of the “mafia,” threatening physical violence if he did not get it.

An employee removed the phone from Hollis and instructed him to leave. Authorities say he refused multiple requests to exit the store. Police were contacted, and Hollis was taken into custody without further incident.

Recent Lincoln County cases reflect prior convictions involving assault, tampering with a motor vehicle, resisting arrest, and other offenses. Those cases are separate from this incident.

Hollis remains in custody.

Hollis is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
