Wife of Derek Chauvin files for divorce on day he's charged with George Floyd killing

The wife of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with killing George Floyd has quickly filed for divorce, her lawyer said. They had been married since 2010.

The announcement came Friday that Kellie Chauvin, a former Mrs. Minnesota winner, is seeking to ditch Derek Chauvin, on the same day he was charged with murder.

The former cop is white and Floyd is black, so that created an excuse for a pandemic of violence all across the country with Canada soon to [most likely] follow as there is little to do there at present.

In a statement by Sekula Law Offices obtained by WCCO it said:

This evening, I spoke with Kellie Chauvin and her family. She is devastated by Mr. Floyd’s death and her utmost sympathy lies with his family, with his loved ones and with everyone who is grieving this tragedy. She has filed for dissolution of her marriage to Derek Chauvin. 

While Ms. Chauvin has no children from her current marriage, she respectfully requests that her children, her elder parents, and her extended family be given safety and privacy during this difficult time.

Chauvin, 44, was taken into custody on Friday and initially charged with third degree murder and manslaughter. Bail was set at half a million dollars. However, a private medical examiner [Dr. Michael Baden] has determined the cause of death was asphyxiation, which would pump up the third degree charge to possibly murder in the first or second degree.

Floyd was killed by Chauvin after passing a counterfeit twenty-dollar bill at a delicatessen. A video caught him kneeling on Floyd's neck while the victim begged for his life and bystanders tried to convince the rogue cop to get off of him, which he did not for eight minutes and 46 seconds. Three other cops stood by and calmly watched the killing take place.

Floyd was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Chauvin's wife, Kellie, had her own legal run-in with the law in a forgery-related incident where she wrote a bad check at a grocery store for $42.24 back in 2005. She was married to her late ex-husband at the time, Kujay Xiong, and lived in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Letters for payment were sent to Kellie's home about the bad check but she failed to pay the amount due by July 2005, and a criminal complaint was filed against her in August. She eventually paid the money and the case was dismissed.

Ironically, Kellie and Derek met when she worked at Hennepin County Medical Center when he brought a live suspect in for a health check before an arrest. He came back to the hospital and asked her out. The irony is that this medical center is where Floyd was declared dead on Monday.

Kellie currently works as a realtor with Re/Max Results. She had two children with her first husband, who has since died.

On Thursday it was revealed that Floyd had worked with Derek Chauvin as security guards at the El Nuevo Rodeo club, the club owner confirmed.

"Chauvin was our off-duty police for almost the entirety of the 17 years that we were open," Maya Santamaria told KSTP-TV, but she didn't know if the two men knew each other as there were over 20 security guards, including off-duty officers working at the club on any given night. However, there were times when they would have been working at the same event, she explained.

According to Santamaria, Chauvin had a tendency to display anger and overreact to situations.

'He sometimes had a real short fuse and he seemed afraid,' she said.

"When there was an altercation he always resorted to pulling out his mace and pepper spraying everybody right away, even if I felt it was unwarranted."

So maybe Chauvin killed Floyd because he was afraid of letting him get up off the ground, even though he was handcuffed from behind. It's just a theory.
