FARGO (KFGO) – Defense attorney Dane DeKrey says Democratic Minnesota state Sen. Nicole Mitchell will resign from the legislature.
Mitchell was found guilty of two counts of burglary for breaking into her stepmother’s Detroit Lakes home in April 2024.
Mitchell was found in Carol Mitchell’s basement with burglary tools and wearing all black in the early morning hours of April 22, 2024. Mitchell drove all night from her Woodbury home.
Initially, Mitchell told police she broke into the home to gather personal belongings of her late father, such as a t-shirt and his ashes. During her trial, Mitchell said she was there to check on her stepmother, who has Alzheimer’s disease.
Mitchell took the stand in her weeklong trial last week in Detroit Lakes. The jury came back with a guilty verdict after just three hours of deliberation on Friday.
