MORE CHARGES AGAINST HOLES
Cherry Tree man being held in Clearfield County

7/30/2010

New theft charges have been filed against 40-year-old Sherman Holes, the Cherry Tree man who has been named a suspect – but not been charged so far – in the beating death of a Northern Cambria man.

Holes is now accused of stealing five-hundred dollars from his sister’s wallet, and then texting her that he needed the money because he was on the run from police. After eluding police for sixteen days, he was arrested for theft in another case Monday near Newburg, Clearfield County, and is in that county’s jail.

The theft from his sister happened June 1 outside Rainey’s General Store in Mahaffey when he reached into her purse through her open car window and lifted five $100 bills.

Holes is suspected of beating 79-year-old Arthur Henry so badly on June 30th that Henry died three days later from head injuries. The original charges against him stem from a March 2009 theft of a welder. Police say he and a friend then returned it to the store from which they stole it and got cash, which they used to buy heroin. Holes is also being held on a probation violation from a 2008 case for stealing a car.
