At age 17, Jeremichael Nicholson shot a 22-year-old man in the abdomen.

He was charged with attempted first-degree murder. He pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of aggravated assault in 2009 and was sentenced to six years in prison, according to Hamilton County court records.

But thanks to a judge’s ruling, he served only four months in prison.

“That concerns me,” said Chattanooga Police Chief Bobby Dodd.

On Tuesday, Nicholson, now 20, was one of three men charged in connection to a residential burglary where guns were pointed at Chattanooga police officers.
