DETROIT LAKES, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) – State Senator Nicole Mitchell of Woodbury is scheduled to stand trial for first-degree burglary on January 27 in Becker County. The charges stem from an alleged break-in at her stepmother’s residence in Detroit Lakes in April.
During a settlement conference held on December 31, no agreement was reached, leading the judge to set the trial date. Additionally, the judge is considering a request to permit cameras in the courtroom during the trial. Mitchell has a motion hearing scheduled for January 14, coinciding with the commencement of the legislative session.
Following the incident, leaders from both the Republican and Democratic parties have called for Mitchell’s resignation from her Senate seat.
