The wife of the white police officer who was seen kneeling on George Floyd's neck during a fatal forgery arrest had previously been charged herself for writing a bad check, DailyMail.com can disclose.

Police were called to Cup Foods convenience store in Minneapolis on Monday night after a cashier claimed Floyd had used a fake $20 bill.

During the arrest, officer Derek Chauvin was filmed kneeling on Floyd’s neck for an agonizing eight minutes while he pleaded that he couldn’t breathe, later dying.

DailyMail.com has learned Chauvin’s wife Kellie, a former Mrs. Minnesota America winner, was charged with writing a bad $42 check in February 2005.

Hi.

Chauvin knew Floyd from a previous security gig.

Last year iirc.

5.56mm

Not Guilty!

Article says, “Kellie had worked as a radiologist at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, which is the same hospital where Floyd was pronounced dead.”

Big difference between a Radiologist and a Tech...

Her pageant bio said she had an Associates Degree from Hennepin Tech.

That’s not a radiologist by conventional understanding.

Chauvin earned her associate’s degree in radiology and took an internship in the emergency room of Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis. The internship turned into a full-time position, and she stayed for 13 years.

"WOW! Wrote a check on 'insufficient funds' ”!

I guess the writer never heard of the U.S. Congressional House Banking Scandal of 1992.

"Just as an aside, as a cashier I have run into fake $20’s. We never called the cops, we just handed back the fake bill and asked for an alternative payment effort."

I believe Floyd had left the store before they realized the bill was fake. There's been no report that I know of if the owner/clerk went out of the store and confronted Floyd before calling the police. The media doesn't bother to find pertinent details like that before they write a story.

“She’s a Radiology tech, the nice lady who turns on the machine and hides out behind the shield.”

Now take in a deep breath. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Breathe. [pant pant pant]

That cop murdered a man.
Who he is married to is absolutely irrelevant.

Derek Chauvin did NOT commit suicide.

Let me be the first to proclaim that.

[BenLurkin]

not guilty

No one goes from being a Radiologist, the highest paid medical profession of them all, to become a realtor. Sounds fishy.

My father was a radiologist (M.D.) and my mother was a real estate broker. By the time they retired, my mother was earning more than my father was.
