The technique is typically used by officers as a safer alternative to ending dangerous motor vehicle pursuits.
Nicholson was taken into custody and transported to the Towns County Detention Center. Charges were listed as pending at the time of publication.
FYN will provide additional information on the incident as it is made available by Hiawassee Police Department.
Nicholson is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
