Allegations of Home Invasion and Theft
Minnesota state senator Nicole Mitchell, a 47-year-old DFL member from Capitol Office, has been charged with first-degree burglary after being arrested at a home in Becker County on Tuesday morning. According to officials in the county, Mitchell allegedly broke into the home of her stepmother with the intent to retrieve her father's body.
Awaiting Trial and Public Outcry
Mitchell, who is currently out on bail, is scheduled to appear in court on August 29th. The charges stem from an incident that occurred on Monday, August 22nd, when Mitchell allegedly used a key to gain entry into the home without permission. Once inside, she is accused of taking her father's body without the consent of her stepmother or any other family members.
The arrest and charges have sparked outrage from the public and fellow lawmakers alike. Many have expressed concern over the allegations against Mitchell, who has a history of advocating for the rights of marginalized communities. The Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) has released a statement condemning the alleged actions and calling for due process.
At this time, Mitchell has not publicly responded to the charges. Her attorney has declined to comment on the case.
