Man Arrested During Disturbance and Assault on Officer
On January 4, 2026, officers with the Kinston Police Department’s C-Squad responded to a disturbance in the 100 block of N. Trianon Street.
Officers made contact with the caller, who reported that 50-year-old James Holman was refusing to administer her prescribed insulin. During the investigation, Holman verbally threatened to kill the caller if she contacted 911 again.

Holman was transported to the Lenoir County Jail, where he was charged with the following offenses:
- Communicating Threats
- Resisting Arrest
- Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer
Holman remains in the custody of the Lenoir County Jail.
