The 67-page complaint mostly focuses on a messy relationship between Nichols and Robin Niceta, the former girlfriend of Chief Wilson. The lawsuit details years of child custody battles and allegations of domestic violence between Nichols and Niceta.
A portion of the complaint talks about an incident in August 2021 involving then-Police Chief Wilson. The lawsuit said Niceta claimed someone came into her home and hit her in the head. She lost consciousness, the lawsuit said, and police transported her to the hospital.
