Navy drops criminal charges against chief
Geoff Ziezulewicz
The Navy has dropped criminal charges against a chief who was facing allegations that her ship security team deployed without magazines for their firearms in September 2018.
The charges against Chief Master at Arms Nicolasa R. Simmons, of the San Diego-based Coastal Riverine Squadron 3, were dismissed early last month, according to Lt. Cmdr. Amber Lewis, a spokeswoman for the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command. The allegations stem from when she led an embarked security team aboard the fast transport Carson City in 2018.
After Capt. Allen Adkins took over as commodore of the squadron’s parent command, Coastal Riverine Group 1, in June, the charges were dropped, Lewis said.
