Newly released bodycam footage shows the moment law enforcement arrested a Minnesota state Democratic lawmaker.
Minnesota State Senator Nicole Mitchell is accused of burglarizing her stepmother’s home to take property that belonged to her late father.
Mitchell faces charges of first-degree burglary and possession of burglary or theft tools from the April 2024 incident.
“Bodycam footage of Sen. Nicole Mitchell’s arrest was shown during her burglary trial today. Mitchell faces charges of first-degree burglary and possession of burglary tools for allegedly breaking into her stepmother’s Detroit Lakes home,” FOX 9 wrote.
“The prosecution claims Mitchell intended to steal, entering through a basement window with a crowbar, while the defense argues she was a concerned family member checking on her stepmother’s well-being,” it added.
