While in court, his lawyer argued that bail be reduced to $50,000. But the request was denied, as the judge said Holiwell broke the law and should be held to a higher standard because of his placement within law enforcement.

Holiwell also has 69 guns registered to his name, but police have not been able to find any of them.

According to the Seattle Times, Holiwell is still paid as a sheriff's office employee while in jail.
