KENOSHA, Wis. — Newly released body-worn camera footage sheds additional light on the July 11 OWI arrest of Jacqueline Niccolai, a licensed therapist and former foster parent who is already facing criminal charges for violating a harassment injunction and is under investigation by the state licensing board. The crash was determined to be Niccolai’s fault.
The incident occurred shortly before 10:02 p.m. at the intersection of 89th Street and 30th Avenue. Officers responded to a two-vehicle crash and found Niccolai behind the wheel of a green Ford Expedition. The driver of the other vehicle told police that Niccolai said she was the designated driver and needed to leave to go to Starlight, another bar, to use the bathroom. She then asked him not to call police and offered him cash to “settle it.” The other driver refused and told her to stay until police arrived.

Niccolai, who appeared visibly impaired in the video and had bloodshot eyes, admitted to officers that she had consumed alcohol and taken multiple prescription drugs, including Xanax, Vyvanse, and Hydroxyzine. Her speech was slurred, and her behavior erratic. At one point, she attempted to perform a field sobriety test but failed spectacularly—trying to do the moonwalk instead of completing the instructed walk-and-turn. She stumbled throughout the roadside evaluations.

During the investigation, Niccolai pleaded, “Please do not do mugshots.”
Later, she told a friend that she was afraid cocaine would show up on her blood test, saying, “This OWI would completely go away but there’s a good chance [cocaine is] going to come up in my bloodwork which will fuck me.”
History of Dangerous Behavior
Niccolai’s arrest was not her first encounter with law enforcement. In 2024, she was arrested for carrying a firearm while intoxicated after police found her armed and impaired. While in custody, she kicked the inside of a squad car more than two dozen times and threatened to kill police officers. She was booked and released after that incident, but prosecutors declined to file felony charges for threats or property damage.
Legal Representation and Plea
Niccolai has pleaded not guilty to the OWI charge. She is represented by attorney Theodore (Ted) B. Kmiec III of Kmiec & Noonan LLC, a Salem-based law firm. Niccolai told a friend he is working “pro-bono.”
Niccolai was booked into jail and released shortly after the July 11 crash. Her case remains open and pending blood-test results. She is also the subject of an ongoing investigation by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS), which regulates therapist licensure.
Kenosha County Eye will continue to report on the case as additional developments occur.

sign me up for some therapy. i would like buy her a few drinks and give her a ride home
I wouldn’t recommend it
Jesus. Her page is full of how she’s Innoncet. And then another video comes out. She’s a wreck
Right! How desperate are you? She is a nut job and a very unstable person.
That she is a crazy whackjob is evident just by her pic alone.
That outfit was a….choice
Totally hideous-unless you’re a prostitute.
She is so classy. I love how she ends every sentence like she is asking a question.
Her shirt is on backwards 😵💫
Kevin,
Can we get another version of this video set to ZZ-Top’s Peal Necklace?
Make it ZZ TOP “I wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole”.
Wasn’t it Billy Joel who sang “you can’t dress trashy ‘til you spend a lot of money”. Apparently those fines are adding up.
Didn’t Kmiec’s mistress die in their bed from an overdose? Hmm….is this girl getting drugs from his son or some connect of Kniec’s in exchange for being represented??
Kmiec……….that beauty.
How many times have I released on those fun bags…. Down for anything, stage 5 clinger with a double shot of bat sh!t crazy.
Ew, that’s not something to brag about. Probably should get tested….
I can attest
Who the F wears that- especially when you’re pretty much 40.
Hoes will be hoes. What a trashy psychopath.
Yup!
🤔 in my old age I could use a coke snorting,ménage à tua having therapist a couple times a week……feel me?
Nice girl. Dresssed for success
Hookers gonna hook
fupa
She has gained SO MUCH weight
AKA gunt
Where did she get her degree? Where has she worked? What is the status of her license review?
I believe her ex husband Robert got her degree for her doing all her homework for her. Her jobs have been filing lawsuits through those jobs she once had. And whatever license she did have is now being used as a coke straw.
My gosh this woman is just a train wreck, she needs some help, inpatient help something is very wrong, she use to be very good at what she did, I sure hope she gets the help she needs for herself and her family, so sad
Tony Evers types will hire her for state employees.
Fact.
Mom , this is my new girlfriend Chastity.
I fell flat on my face running to these comments. Now to her page and the new page her little lap dog runs to see how innocent she is from this set up. Let me see, Kevin, Bacardi, Coca-Cola, the bartender at Bullseye, the dude in the other car and KPD all conspired to set her up.
ooooOoOhhhhH, what’s the new page? Is it run by Caputo & her eyeliner?
Nice gunt skank.
Every damn video of her intoxicated at airports or police body cams is her stating she’s only had one drink is hilarious 😂 everything she spews out of her mouth including man juice is full of desperation and sadness. But she’s always innocent and the KPD is just out to get her 🙄 and for the ones that comment on how they’ve been with her or want to is so kenosha. The HPV runs strong in that city she’s so gross. How does she walk into any bar there without laughter erupting with her entrance.
My god, this lady is such a train wreck
💯
Did her parents mainline Tylenol while pregnant with her 🤔
LMAO! 🤣
She feels so entitled!!! It shows !!!
She is so hot, I need her number.
I read: During the investigation, Niccolai pleaded, “Please don’t take mugshots.” I couldn’t help but think how timely that was apparently, she doesn’t like being photographed in court either. Just a few days before her first appearance for this case, photographers were banned. Coincidence, or friends in high places?
I wonder who the judge is. Don’t tell me it’s Angelia, because then I’ll say, ‘Bingo!
Hoes gonna hoe…..hookers gonna hook….
Thought the same thing!
I’m convinced the ones who thumb down the comments are Jackie and that crony Steffany Caputo who by the way is definitely the stunt double of Jim Varney in Ernest go to camp movies!!!!
