Arlington Street on National Superhero Day, April 28, 2014. Police Chief James Nice will be presenting Holland with an Akron Police Department t-shirt. On January 7, 2014, Holland noticed an unfamiliar person entering a residence on his route and immediately asked a neighbor to contact the Akron Police Department. Officers responded, apprehended the suspect inside the home, and discovered that the suspect was wanted in other cities for a series of burglaries and a vehicle theft. Created in 1995 by a group of Marvel Comics employees, National Superhero Day is celebrated every year on April 28th. |
