(3-11-25) Alicia Nicholson (38) of Granger, Indiana was indicted on a 5th degree felony charge of interference with custody.
Interfering with a child custody order is actually illegal in the state of Ohio. This can arise when one party of a separation or divorce will not return the child once their time is up. In other cases, it occurs when a relative or a friend of the family refuses to return the child to his or her parent or guardian. Whether the offending parent has custodial rights or not, this charge can be imposed.
There are different degrees of custodial interference. Custodial interference can involve the failure of the offending parent to return the children for their scheduled parenting time at the time scheduled. The offending parent can also fail to make the child available for parenting time in accordance with the agreement. The most serious type is when the child is taken out of state or out of the country away from their parent.
The investigation led to a location in MendonMendon.
She is presently being held in the Mercer County Adult Detention Center 0n $50,000 (10%) bond.
The alleged crime involved a child for which Nicholson had no parental rights. Mercer County Detectives interviewed witnesses in Mendon and pinged a cell phone that belonged to Nicholson to help solve the case.
