Fear of asking for help sends man to prison

On Monday, Pershing County Sheriff’s officers brought James Jay Nichols, 32, to the 11th Judicial Court. He faced a probation revocation hearing and possible prison term, his first. “I know I messed up,” said Nichols in a soft voice. “I want to say sorry to the State, to Parole and Probation, and to my mom and grandma.” At his Oct. 2017 arraignment Nichols admitted to using a crowbar to gain access to his grandmother’s home. He wanted her gun. In Dec. 2017, Judge Jim Shirley handed Nichols a 36-120 month suspended sentence with five years probation for possessing the stolen firearm. Fourteen months later, on Monday, April 1, Nichols appeared before the judge again. He admitted to violating several conditions of probation. Specifically, he failed to report to the Division of Parole and Probation as ordered on Dec. 11, 2018.
