The case against Eric Matthew Pikula and Jessica Lynn Gardner, both of Brainerd, who were charged Nov. 20, 2013, in Crow Wing County District Court, with two counts of first-degree drug sale, second-degree drug possession, fifth-degree sale of a marijuana mixture and fifth-degree drug possession-have been closed.
All five charges were dismissed against Gardner on April 7, 2016, and Pikula was convicted for second-degree drug possession and the other four criminal charges were dismissed. Pikula was sentenced to 48 months in the Minnesota Correctional Facility in St. Cloud.
