Police say Democratic state Sen. Nicole Mitchell of Woodbury was arrested after officers searched the home of an active burglary.
A state senator and former broadcast meteorologist was arrested on suspicion of burglary early Monday in the northwestern Minnesota city of Detroit Lakes, police said.
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. Becker County Attorney Brian McDonald did not immediately return a message seeking comment on the case.
