Two Nicholas County residents arrested for incest

MT. NEBO, W.Va. — Two Nicholas County residents are in jail charged with incest.

Deputies in Nicholas County arrested Kelcey Nicholas, 28, and Lataura Jarrett, 21, both of Mt. Nebo Friday.

While deputies were arresting Nicholas on a warrant for home confinement violation at his home in Mt. Nebo, they noticed inappropriate conduct between Nicholas and Jarrett, his step daughter.

After further investigation, deputies learned that Nicholas had been married to Jarrett’s mother for the past five years and was still married to her.

Both Nicholas and Jarrett admitted to having sex with each other at least seven times since July 15.

Both were taken into custody and currently sit in the Central Regional Jail on $35,000 bond.

The investigation is ongoing.
