He crashed his truck into four parked vehicles, his vehicle then landed upside down on the highway with a Grantsville police cruiser receiving damages averting the pile-up.
Among his charges, driving suspended, DUI 3rd offense, fleeing DUI, reckless driving crashing with damage, speeding, expired registration, no insurance, fleeing on foot, fleeing with reckless indifference and obstructing.
Sources close to the investigation indicated Nicholson had a four-page record, including DUI, fleeing, driving revoked, domestic battery, probation violation, and several other charges.
