(Mugshot Courtesy Kenosha County Sheriff)
A Kenosha foster mom was taken into custody by the Kenosha Police Department early Tuesday morning according to the Kenosha Sheriff’s Department inmate search. Police recommended to the Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office that Jacqueline Covelli-Niccolai, 37, of Kenosha, be charged with “Going Armed With Firearm While Intoxicated,” a misdemeanor.
Reports show that someone called police at 2:24 am to ask them to check on the welfare of Niccolai at her far-south side home. When police encountered Niccolai, she was allegedly armed with a gun and intoxicated. Niccolai is showing a criminal charge and or conviction out of Riverside, CA. The charge is unknown.
Niccolai, according to court documents, has admitted to police that she has recently done illegal drugs. She is three-times divorced and admitted to cheating on her second husband and was accused of cheating on her third husband. She has fostered and adopted children. Her social media reports that she is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) at a popular Kenosha Mental Health Counseling and Family Court Services organization, however, the director for this facility confirmed with KCE that she is no longer employed there.
KCE recently reported on her ex-husband, Josh Covelli, being arrested and charged with rape and stalking. Niccolai made a public statement at the time and identified herself as the victim of the assault. She also made a statement in which she accused a second man of attempted sexual assault. Niccolai emailed KCE and begged us to take down details of her drug use and other information. After pulling on our heart strings, we obliged. She convinced us that her drug use was heavily coaxed by Covelli. We are now not so sure. We also turned off comments on that post at her request.
..
No good deed goes unpunished, however. Niccolai would later ask KCE to take down articles or portions of articles of her friends. She seemed to think she had some sort of control over our editorial decisions, calling herself a “victim advocate.” When we refused, she said terrible things about this publication on her Facebook page and called this author a “bad person.” We learned a lesson here. From now on, we report the news and hold fast, not caving to disingenuous people like Niccolai with low moral character.
KCE will report when and if she is charged by the DA. Niccolai responded to a request for comment by saying “I was at home sleeping when the cops came to my house. My mom called to have the police check on me.” Nicolai also told KCE that she “retired” from being a foster parent.

Get her little friends info out there too that she was just in jail with. The one and only DOROTHY PARKER who blames her ex for her fuck ups who was just sentenced to one year for their toxic relationship and her saying how she’s been a victim. She’s not a victim. She’s the abuser of MANY MEN!
We’ll post it instead of being scared with an anonymous name
because we all know who you are Andy, gtfo clown. Unless you post full name and address of your self, quit throwing stones
unless you put your full name and address quit throwing stones. It’s not like we know who you are “Andy”
who are you?
That entire circle is bat sh crazy! Liars, con artists, hoes, etc. Add Ashley “sisters” to that mix too. Coo coos!
And who the hell are you “Andy”?
Well let’s see the Parker girl has 4 DUi’s and just got arrested last week for strangulation so…
She isn’t even hot….why do guys date these whackos. At some point, you know her MO…
Jackie has been married THREE times. She has accused multiple men of sexual abuse and has accused her last 2 husbands of stalking and one husband she accused of physical abuse. She’s a train wreck. Don’t believe a word this chick says!! How anyone can use her as a counselor is beyond me!
All of her friends are….
JUST like 90% of DCFS employees from anywhere ………….
Her kids use to attend a school i worked at and she was very unpleasant to deal with. Seems karma has caught up
Very professional, Kelly. I’m sure it’s not hard to narrow down who you are and inform your job that you slander the parents of former students online.
Yea. The same can go for her… Treating substance abuse patients? On the board of substance abuse org? A foster parent? Kelly might do the same.
Facts are facts. Facts are not slander. It seems as though anyone that is not her friend has the same type of unpleasant encounters with her. 🤷♀️
That’s because all of her friends are drug and alcohol addicts. Ashley blanck, brianna purser-colter, Brittney Bakken.. they are all delusional nut jobs as well as Jackie and dori. They all are so well at playing the victim, oh poor me, but they are all abusers to the men they date and marry. Manipulation at its finest. And they also hang out with men who have beaten several women!
It’s these kind of women that do a disservice to real victims. Terrible!!!
I’m not her friend, nor have I had a pleasant encounter with her. However, I still believe it is extremely unprofessional for school officials to be commenting on this matter.
lol. Like kusd has any reputable employees. Half are on this page for messing with kids. Take what an employee says with a small grain of salt. Hypocrites
Karma is a B 🤣!!!!!
Karma is most definitely a B😂
Wow
It’s a misdemeanor. Not like she was caught with drugs Not saying it’s right at all. She committed a crime. Just stating
This a foster parent in Kenosha? The same agency that denied me access to my grandchild because of a felony conviction when I was 18? 40 years ago? Kerman better fire that director or she’s just an enabler to a corrupt system.
…….. just part of the Endangering Children Industry.
90% of DCFS everywhere are incompetents, drunks, or both.
Her, Ashley Rinaldo and Dori Parker all have serious issues. They stir up the pot in any situation and blame literally any persons but themselves for anything. Ashley fabricates every story, post, situation or conversation. Dori blames every male she’s with for abusing her when her rap sheet is evidence that she’s the abuser and instigator. No wonder these three are best friends. Sickening.
What happen to her child? She just had a baby with her new man. So sad. Girl needs help.
Wow… that was quick. Is she even divorced from Josh?
THAT BABY IS MY DAUGHTER SHE BASICALLY STOLE HER AWAY FROM ME REAGAN IS MY CHILD IM HER BIOLOGICAL MOTHER

You lost 4 babies. Not one. Let’s be honest here babe
Haha this is great. We should call all her friends out!
This looks like a job for Cap’n Sav-A-Ho!
Jackie, I’m sorry but I am loving watching you take the walk of shame. Karma honey!!
Sorry to say it, but you reap what you sow. I wouldn’t trust her with ANYTHING. She is a fraud and a liar.
Wow karma
Wow that’s karma
Thank you for reporting this and your transparency Kevin.
Integrity shortfall
Spoiled goods
Single and married men alike, be weary of this woman. She tried to make a play at my husband the first time she met him, while she was married to her 2nd husband (who BTW was best friends with her 3rd husband whom she divorced and is charging him with rape). My husband’s radar went off right away. She’s a toxic person!!!!!
Being married 3 times should be the first clue!!
You will find that social workers are in that profession for 2 reasons.
1st They want to help save the world.
2nd They want to save themselves.
Looks like she tried both angles.
PSA: Men and women keep your distance. This toxic woman made a pass at my husband the first time she met him, while she was married to her 2nd husband (who happened to be best friends with her 3rd husband whom she is now accusing of rape). This is all a game to her. She is a compulsive liar and enjoys breaking up relationships. She’s told so many stories that she probably can’t remember them all. She should probably stop seeing patients and get herself some professional help.
Don’t be shy, post your name. You want to share intimate, irrelevant stories about her; but you’re posting anonymously.
Jackie? Is this you?
This person isn’t someone you want to give you advice about your marriage or life.
Be careful. She should come with a warning label.
She’s my dream girl !!! Probably my next wife !
Kenosha DCFS approved! Fire them ALL!
In my experience, they wouldn’t charge you for having a gun in your own home, even if you’re intoxicated, when you’re not committing any other crime. That would be ridiculous if you owned a gun, got an unexpected knock on your door, and were charged with a crime for having your gun on or near you. Especially if you’ve been a legitimate sexual assault and stalking victim in the past. Charging someone in this situation would be especially ridiculous.
M Hayden, you are totally correct.
I hope somebody reported her to the Department of safety and professional services so that they can take away her license to practice counseling.
She may have an embattled “love life” however, she has not done anything to warrant taking away her professional license. Should men run the other way when it comes to dating her, absolutely… but again, that doesn’t warrant revoking her license as a counselor.
If she can’t keep her own house in order, how is she supposed to help you keep your in order??
Has to be more to this charge. How can you be arrested for having a firearm in your own home?
We’ll find out when/if she’s charged.
And she hasn’t been and won’t be charged. I’m not sure why this was even even included in this article… you know it’s not illegal to have a firearm in your own home… drunk or not.
She was drunk, do you read? Drunk and brandishing a firearm is not ok
Do you read? So if someone knocks on your door that late at night and you grab a firearm? Learn the law idiot Also learn what brandishing means. Do YoU ReAd
Hahahaha!
How enjoyable this is to see, she is indeed a horrible person. Working for the school district I’ve had to deal with this unpleasant self intitled POS. She was/is a collector of foster children for a paycheck. Karma sweetheart, i hope you continue to spiral
It is ‘entitled’ not entitled, more proof that our schools SUCK!
It is ‘entitled’ not intitled, more proof that our schools SUCK!
So, does this sociopath’s shit behavior get factored into the allegations she made against Josh? How do you NOT look at his case and think twice about the validity of her claim? I HATE when women deceptively play the victim when they are aggressively deceitful! Stop acting like a bitch because you didn’t get your way!!
You don’t know anything about her case with Josh. Don’t comment on it.
Omg this is like House wives of Kenosha 🤣🤣
Whole family trash
Yeah the Covelli’s sure are!
you do know there’s more than one family of covellis, right?
Why? Because she fucked up and needs someone to blame! Why blame a family that had nothing to do with her idiocy? Shameless!
Don’t blame people that had nothing to do with this!!!
was talking bout her I think
I was referring to the Covelli comment
What I wanna know is WHERE THE FUCK IS MY CHILD ANGELA/REAGAN IN THE MIDST OF THIS HAPPENING
WHERE MY CHILD AT! CUZ THE HOE BASICALLY STOLE MY BABY AND ADOPTED HER OUT!
YALL NEED TO BE LOOKING ME UP ON FACEBOOK AND WATCH MY VIDEOS TELLING EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AND HOW THIS LADY RUINED MY LIFE

How fucked up you gotta be to lose your kid to her. Sounds like a you problem.
Shakira, I was a foster parent for many years. You aren’t fooling me. You didn’t walk the walk and your baby girl was held in foster care for probably 3 years. DCFS then terminated your parental rights. I know how this works. Jackie may be a terrible person but she certainly did not steal your child. Those decisions are made by DCFS and the judge.
According to what’s in her lawsuit against dcf, those people did technically steal her baby away from her. Reagan was taken away from her out of her arms at birth right from the hospital for no reason. No drugs no alcohol no nothing was into play she does not drink or smoke at all. She does not have any form of mental illness or any kind.
Dcf tricked her into signing her parental rights so they could avoid taking her case to trial because they knew she’d win her back there wasn’t really anything on her that is why they tried building her case off of lies. That is in the lawsuit against them also. I was there at her lawsuit court date. She’s innocent she did not do anything wrong to have her baby taken from the get go.
Why are you guys teaming up on this girl for? Do you guys know what happened in her dcfs case? were any of you there at court? Or did you guys just only hear what jackie said & what ever she showed? I can tell ya right now jackie is lying about things with this one. I always knew something was fishy as to why she adopted Reagan & had her in her care. It never made sense to me until reading these comments hmmm what a shame what a disgusting disgrace of a human!
I would encourage anyone with any information regarding Jacqueline accusing men of sexual abuse, to contact Josh Covellis attorney Michael Forella. Let’s get Josh out of Jacqueline’s grip. He doesn’t deserve this!!
Neither did her ex before hum. She dragged him through the mud and treated him horribly through their divorce. All while screwing his best friend.
And he’s a great guy! He adored Jackie and put up with a lot of her crap.
I would encourage anyone who has been sexually assaulted by Josh Covelli to reach out to the DA.
Lots of catty comments from women on here. BWB are in force against this 403!
When all the dust settles from this particular drama show, there’ll be guys lined up again to jump in her drawers so she call play the game all over again.
Remember the best friend she was screwing around with on her ex before Covelli was Covelli, so seems to be serious character questions all around.
Pretty sure Covelli has abandoned his kids for the better part of 2yrs and hasn’t provided ANYTHING to them even against court orders.

Open your legs some more this is a fucking joke.
This little group needs to get a life and quit trying to wreck these men because they think they’re untouchable. You girls need to go home to your families. Stop getting involved in shit that has nothing to do with you. 4th husbands the charm
Take the license away. UNFIT!!!!!
I want to see footage of this stalking!!
Attend the court proceedings. You’ll see.
He may have stalked her, I don’t know. I do know that she has accused multiple men of sexual abuse/rape. I do not for one minute believe Josh sexually abused her. She filed a restraining order on him for stalking. That restraining order was denied and then she comes up with sexual assault that supposedly happened 1 month earlier. It doesn’t add up.
What’s on her cheek!? She wasn’t lying when she told the cops she’s on drugs… 🤔
That’s one of the many injuries she endured from the police. She doesn’t do drugs lol
She was abused by the police?
Hmmm ok. Resisting arrest? Or they just roughed her up? Maybe she will sue KPD next?
Why not she sues everyone else according to google
What’s her last name!?
Which name? She has had 5 last names
This crazy bitch is posting stupid shit on her Facebook page. It’s hilarious proclaiming her innocence, lol she needs a fucking psychologist and some meds ASAP. And if she’s already on meds which she probably is they are not working. If you’ve ever been around her children, you can tell what a shitty parent she is. Her kids are assholes
i’m not a supporter of jackie but let’s leave the kids out of this.
There’s literally not one post claiming her “innocence”. Troll and gaslight much?
I know! She gives her son alcohol
The social workers at DCFS do not want families reunited. I know for a fact that Katie Schroeder does not do her job. I know first hand how lazy and a liar she is.
