In the unfolding saga of the Hickory Grove assault with a deadly weapon case, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police have made a consequential arrest. Kono Holloway, a 21-year-old man, now bears the weight of legal scrutiny, his freedom confined to the walls of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office, entrusted with the stark charge of storing a firearm in a manner accessible to a minor.
Per the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, Holloway was apprehended on Saturday. Following a touchstone interview at the LEC on East Trade Street, he was relinquished into the keeping of the sheriff's office, broaching yet another chapter in what seems an all-too-familiar narrative where children fall victim to the lurking dangers within their havens.
