WHIDBEY ISLAND — Investigators believe Sgt. John Nieder with the Island County Sheriff’s Office mixed a date rape drug into the drinks of two women before sexually assaulting them, according to court documents.

Nieder appeared in Skagit County Superior Court Oct. 14 and the judge set his bail at $200,000.

Prosecutors charged Nieder the same day with two counts of rape in the second degree. Under the charges, the 50-year-old sergeant assigned to Camano Island is accused of raping the women while they were “incapable of consent by reason of being physically helpless or mentally incapacitated.”

A team of deputies and detectives from the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office arrested Nieder at his Conway home and executed a search warrant on Oct. 13. The Island County Sheriff’s Office placed Nieder, who has a history of sexual harassment allegations within the department, on administrative leave pending the outcome of the case.
