GARY, Ind. — An anger management instructor was charged with domestic battery after his wife accused him of grabbing and beating her during an argument, police said.
The Reverend Robert Nichols, 49, has taught anger management classes for defendants in Gary City Court for several years, but his contract was voided while the misdemeanor charge against him is pending, City Court Judge Deidre Monroe said.
“It’s our policy that anyone working in the court system can’t have criminal charges,” Judge Monroe said Monday.
Rev. Nichols was arrested early Thursday after the couple’s young daughter called police to report the fight, police said.
