CHEHALIS – A Lewis County Jail inmate remains held on $500,000 bail for allegedly threatening to kill jail staff and their families in a letter he wrote to his girlfriend which was intercepted at the Chehalis facility.
An attorney for Joseph L. Nickols, 33, of Chehalis, yesterday requested a reduction in the bail amount, but was denied.
Nickols pleaded not guilty yesterday in Lewis County Superior Court to two counts of felony harassment.
According to charging documents, Nickols was on a “watch list” for his mail, and Corrections Officer Jack Haskins was alarmed when he read the letter.
It appeared Nickols was upset because jailers were reading his mail.
Haskins told a detective he’d been threatened by the inmate in the past and based on his criminal history, felt he would carry out the threats, according to the charging documents.
The second alleged victim is a jail employee who didn’t read the letter, but read Haskins’ report about it, according to documents.
In the letter, Nickols suggested he would shoot with their own gun all who messed with his mail, according to the documents.
His past convictions include drugs, theft, burglary, witness tampering and protection order violations.
According to the jail’s roster, he was in custody since the beginning of April in connection with failing to appear in court for a suspended license case as well as violating a no contact order.
Harassment is a class C felony, with a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine.

As of February 2015, a total of 50 studies have investigated the relationship between fluoride and human intelligence, and a total of 34 studies have investigated the relationship fluoride and learning/memory in animals. Of these investigations, 43 of the 50 human studies have found that elevated fluoride exposure is associated with reduced IQ, while 32 of the 34 animal studies have found that fluoride exposure impairs the learning and/or memory capacity of animals. The human studies, which are based on IQ examinations of over 11,000 children, provide compelling evidence that fluoride exposure during the early years of life can damage a child’s developing brain. Another brain damaged American harmed by our saviors that claim they care about our teeth. If we never take the fluoride out of our water supply expect.the next generation of Centralians to be mindless criminals.
We’ve seen fluoride rants on these threads before. I’m guessing this is the same guy trying to save us from ourselves using another pseudonym. That’s “false name” for you Centralians who drink too much water out there.

Harvard study states that Fluoride lowers your IQ, knowing this its easy to understand why some people are so dumb. To much water equals the common Centralian.
I’m guessing this has more to do with Meth and or Booze than fluoride treatments. Besides, we don’t even know if he grew up on well or city water.

So it was an inmate’s lawsuit because the jail used to not allow letters out that resulted in a federal judge deciding that was unconstitutional. Now the jail had to hire new people to read the mail and this dumbo writes a threatening letter. WOW!
Threatening to kill jail staff and their families? I’d think the safest place for him right now is jail.
What a moron!
