Nicholson released from jail
BY MARK CURNUTTE | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER
A.J. Nicholson posted bond and was released from jail in Tallahassee, Fla., over the weekend.
The Bengals rookie linebacker was arrested when he surrendered to police there Saturday and charged with burglary, grand theft and vandalism.
The charges stem from an alleged burglary of about $1,700 worth of electronic equipment from the Tallahassee, Fla., home of Florida State running back Lorenzo Booker and his two roommates last month.
Nicholson’s case was still in the intake division without a court date, a spokeswoman in the Leon County prosecutor’s office said this afternoon.
Tallahassee police said Nicholson, 22, and former FSU wide receiver Fred Rouse broke into Booker's home May 20 or May 21. Booker found his bedroom window broken after returning home May 21, according to an affidavit filed in the case.
Rouse confessed to police during a sworn, taped interview, the affidavit states.
"Rouse said he heard glass break and a short time later A.J. Nicholson returned carrying two portable stereos, a DVD player, and a pair of headphones," the affidavit states. "Rouse also saw that Nicholson had a substantial cut on his middle finger, possibly the right middle finger."
Booker told police that Nicholson had lived in the house at one time but was evicted several months ago for not paying rent.
