NICHOLSON PICKED-UP BY AUTHORITIES - Grantsville Man Had Been Fleeing

(08/09/2003)
Police picked-up Grantsville resident Gary Nicholson Friday evening, after several officers from the Calhoun Sheriff's Department and the State Police commenced a search.

Nicholson was wanted for a parole violation and fleeing.

Authorities went to serve a warrant on Nicholson on Norman Ridge about three weeks ago, and he fled into the woods. Sources said he received some injuries in the woods after a police dog was brought in to locate him.

Nicholson later advised Sheriff Allen Parsons he would surrender, but he failed to show up.

Nicholson had earlier fled from his parole officer after a drug screen showed use of an illegal substance.
