Disgraced former police officer Derek Chauvin pleaded guilty to tax evasion in Minnesota on Friday admitting he hid tens of thousands of dollars from the state.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of tax evasion, entering the plea in a Minnesota court before Washington County Judge Sheridan Hawley.
He was sentenced to 13 months in prison, according to a spokesperson for the county's prosecutor's office, which will run concurrently for killing George Floyd on May 25, 2020. Floyd's murder was captured on video and sparked a summer of civil rights protests across America.
