Nicholas Rekieta, an attorney and owner of Rekieta Law, was arrested last week on charges of drug possession, child endangerment, and unlawful firearms possession. His spouse was also charged.
A lawyer from the Spicer area with a large following on social media was arrested last week for alleged possession of cocaine and other drug paraphernalia.
On Thursday, May 23, the Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s Office served a warrant at the home of Nicholas Robert Rekieta, 42, and his spouse Kayla Christine Rekieta, 40. Both are from Spicer.
Both Nicholas Rekieta and Kayla Rekieta are facing charges of felony second-degree drug possession and gross misdemeanor charges of child endangerment and unlawful firearm possession.
They made their first appearances Friday in Kandiyohi County District Court and were later released on their own personal recognizance. Conditions of their release include no use or possession of firearms, no use or possession of alcoholic beverages and that both submit to random drug testing and screenings.
Contested omnibus hearings are scheduled Aug. 20 for both. No attorney was listed for either Nicholas or Kayla Rekieta on the Minnesota Judicial Branch’s remote website as of Monday.
