Felon, Drug Treatment Counselor,
Sober Living Halfway Home Operator, and Meth Trafficker
Meet Ronald Wendall Nichols, director of the Second Chance Sober Living Treatment Center. After one year working for ODMHSAS Nichols found a way to strip taxpayer dollars from the mental health departments by running sober living homes and pulling in donations from liberals...while also selling drugs.
Right now he is out on bond for drug trafficking meth. When he isn't busy strangling people.
Nichols has a half dozen sober living halfway houses scattered across Oklahoma City with a website filled with pictures of thugs trying to look menacing. Nichols first turned up in 1992 with multiple stolen vehicle charges and possession of drugs, then again in October with felon in possession of a firearm. By 2000 he had graduated or at least got caught at being a burglar. Then in 2005 he was arrested again on a charge of possession of a firearm, meaning he was already a felon. By 2006 he was convicted and sent to prison for two years. He was sent to prison in April of 2006 and back out by February of 2007 he was back out on the streets but he wasn't paying his fines or court costs. It was not until February of 2015 that a warrant was issued over this failure to pay.
By 2007 Nichols had been arrested driving while under suspension and for eluding a police officer. He spent six months in county jail and never paid a dime in costs. Finally a warrant was issued for his arrest for about $1000 in costs. In August of 2016 he was married and thirteen months later he was being divorced and a protective order was issued against him a few months later.
In early January of 2018 he was arrested on his drug trafficking charge, released on the GPS program, and promptly violating his release agreement and arrested in early March. He is now out on bond for the drug trafficking charges. Nichols was selling meth, no doubt to his existing customer base at his sober living homes.
Soft on crime never works. It merely enables the drug addicts to continue their life of crime and fuels the criminal justice system. Oklahoma needs cheap prisons that return a profit for the state and harsher penalties that are fully served in order to have a deterrent upon criminals or at least keep them off the streets while serving their sentence in full. Instead we have a man that led a 26 year long life of crime and managed not to pay for any costs or fees and spent less than three years in jail or prison for his multiple crimes across three decades.
