A state senator and former broadcast meteorologist was arrested on suspicion of burglary early Monday in the northwestern Minnesota city of Detroit Lakes,…

Democratic Sen. Nicole Mitchell has worked as a meteorologist for The Weather Channel and Minnesota Public Radio, as well as the U.S. military.

Mitchell did not immediately return a call left on the jail’s voicemail system for inmates. It’s not clear if she has an attorney who could comment on her behalf. The police chief said he didn’t know of one. Dispatchers received a 911 call at 4:45 a.m. from a homeowner about “an active burglary in process at her residence,” Todd said in an interview. Officers searched the home and arrested Mitchell, Todd said.

Mitchell's arrest took Senate leaders by surprise. The Senate Democratic Caucus said in a statement that it's"aware of the situation and has no comment pending further information.”
