ST. PAUL – Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson (R-East Grand Forks) released the following statement on reports of Senator Nicole Mitchell’s (D-Woodbury) arrest in Detroit Lakes early this morning:

“Knowing very few details at this time, I am shocked by the news of Sen. Nicole Mitchell’s arrest for first-degree burglary. The public expects Legislators to meet a high standard of conduct. As information comes out, we expect the consequences to meet the actions, both in the court of law, and in her role at the legislature.”
