A Minnesota state official said Friday that he was told that former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been arrested in connection with the death of George Floyd.

After a Friday press conference, Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Mark Harrington reappeared to tell reporters that the just-fired officer was taken into custody by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, according to multiple reports.

He had no details on the charges or where the officer was taken into custody, saying the information would be forthcoming.
