MOBILE, Ala. A member of the law enforcement community has been arrested after serving Mobile County for twenty-five years.
Daniel Holifield faces 13 charges, including three counts of first-degree theft of property and 10 counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, after a grand jury indicted him this week.
According to the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, Holifield used official sheriff’s office letterhead and forged the signatures of three co-workers to buy 10 cars.
According to the indictments, Hollifield is accused of stealing a 2011 Mazda CX-9, a 2013 Toyota Highlander, and a 2005 Pontiac G6.
The 10 remaining charges related to forging the Title and Bill of Sale documents for those vehicles and two others, a 2014 Chevrolet Impala and a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu.
According to court documents, Daniel Holifield was forging the names of other MCSO employees on applications for titles for impounded and confiscated vehicles, as well as other internal sheriff’s department paperwork.
Between 2020 and 2021, Hollifield is accused of transferring ownership of at least three cars, a 2005 Pontiac G6, a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu, and a 2014 Chevrolet Impala, to himself. The vehicles were intended to be auctioned on Govdeals.com.
In 2023, Holifield was also accused of logging more than 2,600 hours of overtime, earning nearly $149,000.
At this time Holifield is free on bond pending his arraignment.
