Carson City man arrested for felony sexual assault on a child, held on $1 million cash only bail
A 48-year-old Carson City man is facing additional counts of sexual assault and lewdness with children, as well as violating bail conditions after his initial arrest in mid-December for felony lewdness with a child.
Eugene Thomas Nichols Jr. was arrested in mid December for lewdness with a child under the age of 14. According to the arrest report, the additional charges were filed after the Carson City Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division alerted Special Enforcement Team Deputies that they were applying for an arrest warrant for Nichols and two further counts of sexual assault on a child under the age of 14.
According to deputies, they knew that Nichols was out on bail and went to his residence to arrest him on the additional warrants. A surveillance team was set up, but when they saw Nichols getting into a car, they decided they did not want him to be mobile in a vehicle and detained him.
Deputies drove onto the driveway and the yard with emergency lights on and gave verbal commands to Nichols to get out of the car, which he ignored.
Nichols was then taken out of the car and placed in handcuffs.
His bail is set at $1,000,000 cash only
