Hollister police are looking for a suspect after a stabbing homicide early on Christmas morning, according to a Hollister Police Department announcement.
Considering a modest, maximum savings of $316,000 annually and the likely benefits of having one cohesive law enforcement agency, Hollister officials should lead the charge in getting the city and county to agree on consolidation of the police and sheriff's departments.
A six-hour stalemate turned a Gilroy neighborhood into a scene of blaring megaphones and flashing police lights Wednesday night, as officers used a SWAT team, bomb squad robot and hostage negotiators to coax out an armed, wanted parolee holed up in the attic belonging to a family he barely knew.
Hollister police Tuesday morning served search warrants related to the reported exchange of gunfire that occurred Sunday and arrested one suspect in the case, a police captain confirmed.
