A Democratic state senator Minnesota who who once served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force Reserve, has been arrested on suspicion of burglary.
Police were called to a home in the 700 block of Granger Road of Detroit Lakes, early on Monday morning and arrested Nicole Mitchell, 49, who is from Woodbury, Minnesota.
When authorities responded and searched the home, they found Mitchell inside and took her into custody. The home was that of her late father and where her stepmother still lives.
The Becker County Attorney's Office is now reviewing the report before determining whether Mitchell, who is a first-term Democrat and was elected to a four-year term in 2022, will be charged.
Before becoming a state senator, Mitchell had a decorated career in the military and worked as a TV meteorologist including spending years on the Weather Channel. Her political career has been focused on veterans and climate issues.
A spokesperson for the Minnesota Senate Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party said in a statement the party was 'aware of the situation and has no comment pending further information.'
'Knowing very few details at this time, I am shocked by the news of Sen. Nicole Mitchell's arrest for first-degree burglary. The public expects Legislators to meet a high standard of conduct. As information comes out, we expect the consequences to meet the actions, both in the court of law, and in her role at the legislature,' the chamber's Republican leader, Mark Johnson, said in a separate statement.
Currently, Democrats hold just a one seat majority (34-33) in the 67-member Minnesota Senate with the Legislature now heading into the final month of its 2024 session.

I’m sure it was all an innocent prank.
Wouldn't it be great if that were true?
Usually when it’s a Dem you have to read 20 paragraphs to get to that detail, if its there at all.
This does rather complicate matters.
What’s one diff between a DemocRAT and a crook?
Three fewer letters.
I agree. There is more to this. But it is funny that it is a dem.
I fully expect Democrats to do this.
I smell a family tiff.
She World Famous now.
If “she” is even a biological woman to begin with.
It’s not so surprising, given that rats are the party of con artists and criminals.
True if the public expected it, or true that Legislators should meet a high standard of conduct? Because I’m well past expecting ethical behavior from Legislators. and they seem determined to live down to my expectations. Politics seems to attract some sketchy folks, and the ones that excel in politics are the sketchiest.

I would NOT ever expect Kristina Abernathy to do this, later in life.
“I fully expect Democrats to do this.”
Yep.....a resume bullet point for lefties
Currently, Democrats hold just a one seat majority (34-33) in the 67-member Minnesota Senate with the Legislature now heading into the final month of its 2024 session.
Technically, it is currently a 33-33 tie. Who holds the tie breaking vote? Is the legislature even in session? Maine has adjourned (except for veto day) until the next election.
Answer to second question.
In 2024, the legislature was scheduled to convene on February 12, 2024, and adjourn on May 20, 2024.
Still looking for the answer to the fisrt.
Pass a law saying blood trumps water. Current laws keep lawyers employed.
The crazy eyes give it all away.
Everybody looks good on the Weather Channel.
Nobody looks good in a mugshot.
