Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is being kept isolated in prison as he awaits sentencing following his conviction on three counts in the death of George Floyd.

Chauvin was booked into the Oak Park Heights prison in Stillwater on Tuesday at 4:55 p.m., about an hour after hearing the jury’s decision to convict him of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter charges in Floyd’s May 25, 2020, killing.
