The Becker County Attorney was deciding on any formal charges. Fox News Digital reached out to Becker County Attorney Brian McDonald, but did not immediately receive a response.
Mitchell, of Woodbury, represents District 47 since she was elected to the state Senate in 2022. She was previously a meteorologist for KSTP-TV and Minnesota Public Radio, and currently serves as lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard.

"The public expects Legislators to meet a high standard of conduct," Johnson said. "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."
Mitchell's arrest could pose a problem for Democrats, who currently hold a one-seat majority in the Senate with four weeks left in the legislative session.
