Becker County Attorney's Office Charges Senator Nicole Mitchell with Burglary
DFL Majority Faces Uncertainty Amidst Member's Arrest
Tuesday, Becker County Attorneys Office
On Tuesday, the Becker County Attorney's Office charged 49-year-old Senator Nicole Mitchell (DFL-Woodbury) with first-degree burglary. This arrest has come at an inopportune moment for Senate Democrats, who currently hold a narrow one-seat majority.
The criminal complaint filed in Becker County on Tuesday outlines the allegations against Mitchell. According to the complaint, Mitchell allegedly entered a residence without permission and stole property belonging to the homeowner.
Mitchell's arrest has raised questions about the future of the Democratic majority in the Minnesota Senate. If convicted of the burglary charge, Mitchell could face significant penalties, including imprisonment and disqualification from holding public office.
