WINONA, Minn. – Police arrested a LaCrosse man on a domestic issue after he himself called the cops for help. It’s a long story, but in the end Quentin Marcus Holder, age 26, was in jail on two counts of violating a judge’s order to stay away from an ex-girlfriend. The episode began about 2:26 a.m. when a man identifying himself only as “Marcus” called the police dispatcher. The man complained that his ex-girlfriend wouldn’t let him into her place in the 350 block of Liberty Street to pick up some belonging. The man gave the dispatcher the girlfriend’s address and hung up abruptly. This is the police account of what happened next: Officers went to the girlfriend’s East Side address. No one was home. They reached the woman by phone. She told officers that Holder had pounded on her door, shouted demands to get in, and insulted her with vulgarity: “Let me in, you stupid bitch.” The woman, age 20, called a friend for help. After Holder left, she ran out to a waiting car and too refuge at a friend’s place. When police reached her, the woman described Holder’s car. Officers found the vehicle nearby on Liberty Street and located Holder on foot a couple blocks away and took him to jail. While Holder was at jail, about 2:30 a.m., the woman called police that he had just called and asked her to bail him out. She didn’t. Officers added a second count of violating the judge’s no-contact order.
Holder. A bad night for him. Double whammy charges of violating a restraining order.
