Jason Nichols -- the guy law enforcement says is the one seen in viral Ring camera footage yelling and kicking -- has officially been charged with 4 felony counts ... and his bail has now increased to a whopping $250K ... TMZ has learned.

The homeowner's husband was apparently watching it all unfold on a security cam from afar while his wife and child were in the house, so he raced back home, grabbed a shovel, and confronted the guy -- leading to a violent struggle that left both men with head injuries.
