A 22-year-old Chickasaw man charged in connection with a March 15 crash that killed four young local men is home after his father posted a $200,000 bond.
Nicholas Schwieterman, 90 S. Maple St., left the Mercer County Jail at 11:30 a.m. Friday wearing street clothes and an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet to keep track of his whereabouts. He will be confined to the home of his parents, Bob "Buster" and Linda Schwieterman. [More]
