The former Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, police officer who fatally shot a 20-year-old black man during an April 11 traffic stop has been arrested and charged with second-degree manslaughter.
Kimberly Potter, 48, who resigned in the wake of the incident, was charged on April 14 by Washington County Attorney Peter Orput. Potter, a 26-year veteran of the Brooklyn Center police force, was arrested by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) and was booked into the Hennepin County Jail, where she will await her first court appearance in connection with the shooting of Daunte Wright.
