WINDERMERE, Fla. — Two Central Florida women were arrested on Friday, accused of vandalizing the Windermere home of Derek Chauvin.
Chauvin is the now-former Minneapolis police officer charged with the murder of George Floyd. He was arrested for third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter after video showed him kneeling on Floyd's neck.
Deputies responded to Chauvin's home because of a protest. Investigators say Katelin Benoit and Kimberly Guzman tossed paint onto the front door.
Detectives say the pair was later pulled over and arrested.
