Nicole Mitchell, 49, is a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard. She is also a state level senator for Minnesota. Mitchell was arrested on suspicion of burglary in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. This is the same woman who advocated for safer communities via “common sense gun reform.”<\/p>\n

From NBC News:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Democratic Sen. Nicole Mitchell, 49, of Woodbury, was being held in the Becker County Jail on suspicion of first-degree burglary. Formal charges were still pending Monday afternoon, Detroit Lakes Police Chief Steve Todd said.<\/p>\n

Mitchell did not immediately return a call left on the jail’s voicemail system for inmates. It’s not clear if she has an attorney who could comment on her behalf. The police chief said he didn’t know of one.<\/p>\n

Mitchell was arrested while the Senate is on its Passover break. Her arrest comes at an awkward time for Senate Democrats, who hold just a one-seat majority with four weeks left in the legislative session. Her absence would make it difficult to pass any legislation that lacks bipartisan support.<\/p>\n

Mitchell worked as a meteorologist with the U.S. military and for KSTP-TV and Minnesota Public Radio before she was elected to the Senate in 2022 from a suburban St. Paul district. She still serves as lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard, commanding a weather unit, her official profile says. She worked for The Weather Channel earlier in her career, her profile says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
