The Rev. Robert Nichols, age 49, has been an anger-management counselor for several years in Gary, In. The courts often referred people charged with domestic violence crimes to him. However, Gary City Court Judge Deidre Monroe said the courts won’t be referring to Nichols any longer. “It’s our policy that anyone working in the court system can’t have criminal charges,” Monroe said. The “reverend” was recently arrested and charged with domestic battery after allegedly beating up his wife. (Merrillville Post-Tribune)
