Cole County Presiding Judge Pat Joyce recently sentenced a Jefferson City man to seven years in prison for stealing a television from Walmart in August 2011 and dragging a police officer with his car while trying to escape.
According to court records, James Holleman, 30, of 3832 Oxford Road, pleaded guilty to assault on a law officer, resisting arrest, felony stealing, receiving stolen property and driving while intoxicated.
His sentence will run concurrent with all other sentences against him.
A Jefferson City Police Department probable cause statement shows Holleman attempted to leave Walmart on West Stadium Boulevard with a television worth more than $400.
