Former Huntsville police officer Charles Nathan "Nick" Nickelson is facing some serious heat! The Alabama Attorney General, Steve Marshall, just announced that Nickelson, who's 60 and used to coordinate Huntsville Area Crime Stoppers, has been indicted on a felony ethics charge. Looks like Nickelson's accused of using his position for personal gain – a big no-no! Court documents allege he pocketed "all or a portion" of a whopping $25,520 that was meant to reward tipsters who helped crack cases. If convicted, this Class B felony could land Nickelson in the slammer for a good long while – we're talking anywhere from 2 to 20 years! The Attorney General’s Special Prosecutions Division is on the case. The AG's office is keeping tight-lipped for now, so we don't have all the details on the investigation or Nickelson's alleged misdeeds. We'll keep you posted as this story develops!
