Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of the murder of George Floyd, pleaded guilty Friday to two counts of tax evasion and was ordered to pay nearly $38,000 in restitution.
Both Chauvins originally pleaded not guilty in the tax cases. Last month, Kellie Chauvin pleaded guilty to two counts of tax evasion as part of a plea deal, telling the judge she had relied on her husband to manage their finances and file taxes. Her plea agreement called for three years of probation and a restitution payment of $37,786. Her sentencing is scheduled for May 12.
On Friday, Derek Chauvin, who was dressed in a blue prison jumpsuit, was seen on video standing and pacing around a room as he waited for his hearing to begin. He pleaded guilty to two counts of tax evasion, admitting to Washington County Judge Sheridan Hawley that he had deliberately sought to avoid paying taxes because of financial trouble.
Scott Haldeman, an assistant Washington County attorney who prosecuted the case, admonished Chauvin for evading his tax bills, pointing out that tax dollars fund police departments — his profession at the time.
