NICHOLSON WAIVES PRELIMINARY HEARING OVER 6-VEHICLE CRASH |
| (01/13/2011) |
| Willie Shane Nicholson, 30, of Clarksburg, is facing 11-charges following a six vehicle collision west of Grantsville on New Years Day. Nicholson waived a preliminary hearing Tuesday before Magistrate Rick Postalwait. At least three felony charges, fleeing DUI, driving suspended DUI revoked, and fleeing showing reckless indifference, will likely be presented to a grand jury. Nicholson fled from Grantsville police officers following a traffic stop. Grantsville patrolman Rob Bradley said Nicholson reached speeds over 90 mph. "He [Nicholson] never hit his brakes," said officer Bradley. He crashed his truck into four parked vehicles, his vehicle then landed upside down on the highway with a Grantsville police cruiser receiving damages averting the pile-up.
