Minnesota Democrat State Senator Nicole Mitchell resigned after a jury found her guilty of felony burglary last week.
The jury convicted Nicole Mitchell of both charges: First-degree burglary and possession of burglary of theft tools after she got caught breaking into her stepmother’s home to retrieve her deceased father’s belongings.
“I am stepping down from my MN Senate seat today, but I cannot do that without expressing my gratitude,” Nicole Mitchell said.
