MINNEAPOLIS — The former Minneapolis police officer imprisoned for the murder of George Floyd plead guilty Friday in Washington County District Court to two counts of tax evasion.
Derek Chauvin, who appeared for the hearing via Zoom from the Arizona prison where he is serving a 22½-year sentence for killing Floyd and violating his civil rights, was first charged in 2020 along with his ex-wife with underreporting their income.
He plead guilty Friday to two counts of aiding and abetting, failure to file tax returns in 2017 and 2018.
