Grimy Times Investigates: Navy Base Assault
On August 9, 2010, a brazen attack shook the Naval Air station/Joint Reserve Base in Belle Chasse, Louisiana. David C. Hollingsworth, 49, of New Orleans, Louisiana, pointed an assault style rifle at an off-duty Department of Defense Police Officer. This act of aggression has resulted in severe consequences for Hollingsworth.
The defendant, David C. Hollingsworth, was convicted and sentenced to six months of incarceration, to be served consecutively to his existing 5-year sentence for Receipt of Materials Involving the Sexual Exploitation of Minors. Hollingsworth’s previous conviction dates back to August 2012.
The incident on August 9, 2010, led to Hollingsworth being disarmed and arrested by Base Security. He was later charged with assault, a serious offense that has now landed him additional prison time.
This case was thoroughly investigated by special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Edward J. Rivera and Brian M. Klebba. Their dedication to justice has ensured that Hollingsworth will face the consequences of his actions.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office has announced Hollingsworth’s sentencing, and it serves as a reminder of the gravity of assaulting a law enforcement officer. The incident highlights the importance of maintaining safety and order within our military bases.
Hollingsworth’s case is a stark reminder that violent crimes will not be tolerated. As Grimy Times continues to investigate and report on such incidents, we hope to shed light on the severity of these crimes and the consequences that follow.
