Detroit Lakes, MN – After postponing her trial until the legislative session ended, Democratic Senator Nicole Mitchell of Woodbury faces her burglary charges in court.
The one-day special session ended Tuesday morning when the state budget bill was finally passed.
Mitchell’s trial begins Monday at 8:30 a.m. in Becker County. A motion to dismiss the charge of possessing burglary tools was denied by a judge Tuesday. That charge was added this past winter.
Mitchell is accused of trying to steal her father’s ashes and other items from her stepmother’s Detroit Lakes home last spring.
