According to a news release from Coos County District Attorney R. Paul Frasier, “The extradition warrants issued by the Governor of Oregon and the Governor of Wisconsin were served upon Oen Evan Nicholson on July 23, 2021. Mr. Nicholson made a court appearance in Wisconsin on July 26, 2021 and at that time he indicated that he no longer wished to contest extradition back to Oregon. Accordingly the court in Wisconsin ordered that Mr. Nicholson be returned to Oregon no later than August 9, 2021.
