MINNEAPOLIS — Fired Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin was taken by U.S. marshals from a state prison and is heading to a federal facility to serve his time for killing George Floyd more than two years ago, a Minnesota corrections spokesman said.
Chauvin was picked up by marshals about 8 a.m. at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Oak Park Heights, Department of Corrections spokesman Nicholas Kimball said.
Marshals Service spokesman Michael Fuller said Chauvin was being flown to a federal prison. Fuller said that Chauvin would likely have been in ground transportation if bound for one of Minnesota's federal lockups.
