Pastor and anger management instructor charged with domestic battery
Dateline Gary, Ind…
An anger management instructor was charged with domestic battery after his wife accused him of grabbing and beating her during an argument, police said.
The Rev. Robert Nichols, 49, has taught anger management classes for defendants in Gary City Court for several years, but his contract was voided while the misdemeanor charge against him is pending, said City Court Judge Deidre Monroe.
“It’s our policy that anyone working in the court system can’t have criminal charges,” Monroe said Monday.
Nichols was arrested early Thursday after the couple’s young daughter called police to report the fight, police said.
Monroe said Nichols’ case will be handled in Crown Point because of his association with the City Court. Monroe appointed a special judge to arraign Nichols in court Friday.

This is in the same category as the pastor who stole wedding gifts from the wedding they officiated or the pastor who stole the church building. Fortunately, it does not reach the level of pastoral extortion.
Once again, we will let the courts sort it out.
