Nicholas Darnell Allison, 47, was booked at the Gaston County Jail - Main on August 27, according to Gaston County Sheriff's Office booking records. He is charged with sex offender unlawfully on premises, docket number 26CR393117, and with a second felony charge under docket number 26CR393179 that the county's own booking record lists only as "Other-Free Text" — the record does not otherwise describe what that second charge is. Bond on each charge was set at $100,000.

Under North Carolina law (G.S. § 14-208.18), it is unlawful for a person required to register as a sex offender to knowingly be present at certain locations intended primarily for minors, including schools, child care centers, and playgrounds, or within 300 feet of such a location, or at other places where minors frequently congregate. The booking record does not state which subsection applies or the specific location involved.

Both charges remain pending, and no further court information was available at publication.

The booking record describes allegations and does not establish guilt.
