Ricke's Bond raised
The initial court appearance for Kyle Lou Ricke took place via livestream in the district courtroom in the Kossuth County courthouse at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday Sept. 21. Scott Brown from the Attorney General’s office asked that the original $1 million bond be raised to $5 million based on the severity of the crime, the fact that Ricke fled the scene and that the weapon has not been recovered and the court should presume that Ricke would have access to that gun if he were to get out of jail.
