Won't be hard for him to find a lawyer
Yep. that guy.

According to the charges, law enforcement attempted to execute a search warrant on May 23 at Rekieta’s home in Spicer and was greeted by a girl at the front door who would not let them inside.
After Rekieta refused to provide the door code, law enforcement used a door ram to get inside and found Kayla, Imholte, and four juveniles inside.
Law enforcement proceeded to search the master bedroom and bathroom, where they allegedly found a variety of drug paraphernalia, including three small baggies that tested positive for cocaine, eight green tablets that tested positive for Ketamine, and a digital scale, and several other items that tested positive for cocaine, charges claim.
Authorities also found a Sig Sauer AR with several magazines and loose ammunition underneath the bed, a spent shell casing on the bedroom floor, and located additional firearms and ammunition in the garage, according to court records.

Before his arrest, some online users had raised concerns about Rekieta's health this week sharing a clip of him appearing to dose off during a stream.
Law enforcement noted Rekeita had several injuries to his arms at the time of his arrest. They described the injuries as sores that are common with controlled substance users, charges said.

I found him during the Rittenhouse trial and loved his livestreams of that and the Depp trial, despite his occasional arrogance and Law of defense grifter buddy, who I can't stand ("Buy my book or you're going to jail"). I noticed that the quality of his streams was getting really bad. From getting major details of what was going on in a trial wrong (IIRC, he talked about a Rust trial witness testimony and had the details like completely opposite of what was actually said) to being pretty rude to commenters asking him about other trials going on ("I don't know, I don't care, stop asking and F off").
I don't wish the guy ill, but this looks pretty self-inflicted, without any kind of sympathetic mitigating factor. I could be persuaded to feel sympathetic for someone injured who gets hooked on painkillers, for instance. A streamer who gets coked up and apparently leaves drugs in the open with kids around, no sympathy for me. I hope he cleans his act up, but no sympathy.

He said the night he got so drunk on his stream, he slipped on a dog toy and hit his face on the bathroom countertop
Can't see a MSM source. The one linked alludes to a plea hearing. But according to fellow "lawtuber" Nate Brody (aka - "Nate the Lawyer") Rekieta has plead guilty to charges, and his wife and "girlfriend" have had their charges dismissed.

It was so weird to me to hear him casually refer to her as his girlfriend, like that’s a normal thing.Can't see a MSM source. The one linked alludes to a plea hearing.

He was sentenced in April.
www.fox9.com
Nicholas Robert Rekieta, 43, was sentenced to 28 days in jail with five years of probation on Friday. He was given two days of credit for time already served, and is due to report to Kandiyohi County Jail on Aug. 1, 2025, at 7 p.m., court documents state. He must also serve 80 hours of community service.
Under the agreement, his probation officer can request the jail time be deferred if he follows the terms of his probation, but a judge would still need to approve that request.
Probation conditions show he must submit to random drug and alcohol testing, and he is not allowed to possess firearms.
Rekieta pleaded guilty to third-degree drug possession earlier this year as part of a deal with prosecutors that includes a stay of adjudication, which means the case will be dismissed without any conviction on his record if probation is successfully completed.
The plea deal included the dismissal of a child endangerment charge as well as a charge of possessing firearms as a user of a controlled substance. Court records show the same charges against his wife, Kayla Christine Rekieta, were dismissed by the prosecutor.
State database records explicitly state Rekieta is not authorized to practice law in Minnesota.
