Remember Principal Ricky Nichols from Moulton High School? You know…the one who put a NARC in his small high school and caught a teen boy selling dime bags to his friends? Nichols even participated in the raid at the boys home. That boy was Webster Alexander and through my efforts and the efforts of magazines like Cannabis Culture, High Times, and Rolling Stone and local media coverage his sentence was reduced from 26 years in an Alabama state prison to one year in the local county jail.
After that former sheriff deputy, part time national guardsman, and sometimes high school principal Ricky Nichols went off to serve two tours in Iraq. When he came back he decided that high school kids smoking pot were terrorists and instituted Operation Bounty Hunter where he would pay students $100 to snitch on each other.
Somebody cue John Lennon… instant karma’s gonna getcha!
(Montgomery Advertiser) MOULTON — A former East Lawrence High clerical aide who is married to the school’s principal has turned herself in after allegations that she gave alcohol and marijuana to a 16-year-old student and had sex with him, authorities said.
The student said in a statement to authorities that he and Nichols also had sex several times between March and June at the Nichols’ home.
Ricky Nichols said he didn’t know about any of the allegations until about a month ago when told by the boy and his mother.
What’s the emoticon for schadenfreude? And what’s with all the older women in high schools bedding teenagers and giving them weed? And why was I not informed about this in 1984?

Last day of June and onto the three-day Fourth of July Weekend! Hooray!
Today we get to visit with Jed Riffe, who directed the documentary “Waiting to Inhale”, which chronicles the emergence of medical marijuana since the passage of California’s Prop 215.
Then we interview Loretta Nall with Alabamians for Compassionate Care, with the shockingly un-reported story of special treatment for the son of a prominent tough-on-drugs judge, who faces multiple felony trafficking and possession charges for being caught dealing pot, meth, and coke near the children’s playground at a public park.
Try to beat the heat and load up an ice-bong, it’s time for your NORML Daily Audio Stash.
On March 3, 2008 John Alexander Rochester, son of 40th Circuit Court Judge John Rochester, was arrested at the Ashland City Park in Ashland, AL for possession of meth, first degree possession of marijuana, trafficking cocaine, possession of paraphernalia, distribution of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance.
Judge Rochester is legendary for harshly sentencing drug offenders who are unfortunate enough to find themselves in his courtroom. And Judge Rochester always drug tests defendants before the trial. Lines them up like cattle and demands their bodily fluids in hopes of bypassing that pesky thing known as a trial by jury.
Judge Rochester doesn’t believe in drug treatment before prison. In fact, one of his favorite sayings is, “There’s a SAP program in prison” whenever a lawyer asks that their client be allowed to attend treatment. SAP stands for substance abuse program.
John Alexander Rochester spent 20 days in the Ashland jail and was then bonded out by his mother for a total of $20,000 and whisked away to treatment in Mississippi to await the next convening of the grand jury in Clay County.
The judge who set the bonds is Judge George C. Simpson, the district court Judge in Clay County, which means he is subordinate to Judge Rochester and good friends with him to boot. …In at least two cases John Alexander Rochester’s bond was half (or less) what other people charged with the same crime had to pay.
Additionally, John Alexander Rochester should have enhancements added to his sentence because he was selling drugs at the city park… The only catch is that the prosecutor has to ask that these additional penalties be imposed.
And the reason I have to post edited portions of an email sent to me by Loretta, rather than linking and pasting from an Alabama media story on John Alexander Rochester, is because the media in Alabama have all but been silent on the story of a prominent judge’s son being busted near children in a park on multiple felony charges involving trafficking and three different drugs.
