The police bodycam footage showing a Minnesota state senator being
arrested on suspicion of breaking into her stepmother's home was shown
at her trial on Wednesday.
Sen. Nicole Mitchell has pleaded not guilty to felony first-degree
burglary and possession of burglary or theft tools for the alleged
break-in at around 4:45 a.m. on April 22, 2024.
Mitchell, a member of the state Democratic�Farmer�Labor Party who was
elected in 2022, said she went to the Detroit Lakes home belonging to
her stepmother, Carol Mitchell, who she said has Alzheimer's, to
retrieve some of her late father's items.
On Wednesday, prosecutors rested their case after showing police
bodycam footage of officer responding to the home.
"She's my stepdaughter," Mitchell tells a responding officer. "She's
also a Minnesota senator."
"She's a senator?" the officer is heard asking.
"Yes, well was," Mitchell responds to the officer before he asks
whether she currently serves in office.
"Well, she is. I meant after this�" Mitchell said, referring to the
arrest.
The footage shows Mitchell inside a police cruiser in handcuffs being questioned. She told an officer that she was "just trying to get some
of my dad's things" and added "clearly, I'm not good at this."
