Nicholson Declines to Waive Extradition, June 28

The male accused of killing three people in North Bend June 18th before fleeing to Wisconsin in an abducted woman’s vehicle has reportedly “declined to waive extradition back to Coos County,” according to District Attorney R. Paul Frasier. Oen Evan Nicholson, 30, allegedly killed his 83-year old father, ran over a couple from Florida, killing the 74-year old male and seriously injuring his 73-year old wife, before driving to a Marijuana Dispensary where he allegedly shot and killed a 47-year old clerk. He reportedly fled town in his father’s Dodge truck. That truck was found on fire off Hwy. 126 near Noti in Lane County west of Eugene. Nicholson made it to Springfield where he abducted the woman forcing her to drive east to Wisconsin where he eventually turned himself in. The woman was not injured during her cross-country ordeal. According to Frasier, “My office is in the process of preparing the necessary documents to submit to the office of Governor Kate Brown requesting that the Governor issue a Governor’s Warrant for the extradition of Mr. Nicholson. Once that warrant has issued, it will be sent to the governor of the State of Wisconsin requesting that they honor the request of our Governor to bring Mr. Nicholson back to Oregon.” Frasier added, “Mr. Nicholson will have the opportunity in Wisconsin to contest in court our Governor’s request that he be returned to Coos County. This process could take several weeks if not months before it is completed.”
