The bond was initially set at $35,000.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy District Attorney Steven Tali argued for the higher bail, citing the alleged threats and Nichols\u2019 proximity to the victims, noting he lives directly behind the home.<\/p>\n<p>Nichols did not enter a plea. His next court date is scheduled for April 23, according to jail records.<\/p>\n<p>If convicted, he faces years in prison on the burglary and assault charges, with additional penalties possible on the child-related allegation depending on how it is prosecuted.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities also confirmed Nichols is not a military veteran, despite him telling the homeowner otherwise during the confrontation before leaving the residence.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
