Ex-Minneapolis Police Officer Arrested In Connection With George Floyd’s Death

Police have arrested fired Minneapolis officer David Chauvin in connection with the death of George Floyd.

Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington announced Chauvin’s arrest on Friday less than a day after rioters razed the Minneapolis Police Department’s 3rd Police Precinct headquarters, according to WCCO. Chauvin, who was a 19-year veteran of the police department before his firing, was taken into custody four days after Floyd died on May 25.
