At Rest

Deadly force
Deputies were called regarding a suicidal man parked along Highway 31. Deputies contacted Charles Nicholls who was holding a gun to his head. Deputies ordered him to drop the weapon, but he refused to comply with commands. Deputies continued to negotiate with Nicholls for more than half an hour before he made a sudden movement, and they shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Charles John Nicholls Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
