Is it possible that Nick’s story about “throwing drugs in the car with the child” has opened the door to new charges or even violated his parole?
If he publicly admitted to possessing illegal drugs that weren’t part of his original conviction, and provided specific, verifiable details about when, where, and what he possessed, then prosecutors and CPS could initiate a new investigation. That admission could potentially lead to fresh criminal charges under Minnesota Statutes § 152.025.
Under Minnesota law, each drug type and each act of possession can be prosecuted as a distinct offence, even if they occurred simultaneously. His prior conviction for cocaine doesn’t protect him under double jeopardy, nor does it bar new charges so long as they fall within the three-year statute of limitations. They may not even need physical evidence which is obviously long-gone, as Nick has outright admitted to concealing the crime.
TL;DR – Nick’s drug-bragging could very well have landed him in hot water.
