BY C.F. DAVIDNico Collins, 21, appeared on

Thursday before Associate Dis-trict Judge Ron Kincannon.Collins was the driver of a FordRanger pickup that left the sceneof one accident on the Court-house Square only to be involvedin a much more serious accidenton East Main, just across the citylimit line. Collins was chargedwith two charges of DUI, twocharges of TOC liquor, recklessdriving, two charges of noseatbelt, failure to remain at thescene of an accident, drivingwrong way on a one-way street,driving on the wrong side of theroadway, and held on a bond of$8,500. Since Collins was in-volved in two separate accidentsin two separate geographic lo-cations, one within the city, onejust outside, some charges weredoubled.

In the court appearance,Kincannon raised the bond fromthe original $7,500 to $8,500, andwarned Collins who had askedfor a court-appointed attorneythat should he make bail, thestate would assume that he couldalso afford an attorney and va-cate the request for an appointedattorney.

Since Collins had no job,Kincannon had already waivedthe usual $40 fee for an appli-cation for the court-appointedlawyer.

“Right now, you need a law-yer more than you need to beout of jail,” Kincannon stressed.

Collins will next appear onTuesday, April 26.
