CARROLLTON, GEORGIA (November 27, 2023) – On November 20, 2023, Sergeant C. Krish (Traffic Unit) conducted a traffic stop in the area of South Park Street and Roop Street. A query through the Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC) revealed the vehicle lacked valid insurance coverage, had a suspended registration.
During the stop, Krish confirmed the vehicle did not have insurance and advised the occupants the vehicle would need to be impounded and inventoried. At that time, Randall Nichols told Sgt. Krish, “There are guns in there.”
A search of the vehicle yielded ten (10) firearms as well as controlled substances, leading to further charges. Notably, a Glock 17 9mm with an extended magazine, modified for automatic fire, was discovered along with a stolen revolver.
The following individuals have been arrested and charged:
Randall Nichols, age 43, Whitesburg – Theft by Receiving Stolen Property, Possession of Machine Gun or Dangerous Weapon, Possession of a Firearm During Certain Crimes, Possession of Methamphetamine
Amy Nichols, age 45, Whitesburg – No Insurance, Driving with Suspended Tag, Defective Tires, Theft by Receiving Stolen Property
