Camp Sherman man indicted for firearm possession

The Jefferson County grand jury has indicted Garth M. Nelson, 53, of Camp Sherman, on three counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to trial court records in Madras.

Nelson, free on security release, was to be arraigned Monday afternoon, October 23, in circuit court.

The charges arose out of an early morning incident at Nelson's home October 1, when police were notified he was allegedly holding a woman companion against her will. Other charges related to the incident were dropped for insufficient evidence.

The grand jury delivered the indictment October 20.
