https://kstp.com/news/george-floyd-fired-officer-overlapped-security-shifts-at-south-minneapolis-club-may-28-2020/5743990/This is a turn I didn't expect
A former club owner in south Minneapolis says the now-fired police officer and the black man who died in his custody this week both worked security for her club up to the end of last year.
George Floyd and now-former Officer Derek Chauvin both worked security at the El Nuevo Rodeo club on Lake Street, according to Maya Santamaria. Santamaria owned the building for nearly two decades, but sold the venue within the last few months.
"Chauvin was our off-duty police for almost the entirety of the 17 years that we were open," Santamaria said. "They were working together at the same time, it's just that Chauvin worked outside and the security guards were inside."
5 INVESTIGATES has reached out to Chauvin's attorney and the Minneapolis Police Department, but they could not be reached for comment at the time this story was published.

And hung around until the police arrived. Not the behavior of a guilty man.

Florida. People are gathering at his Florida address because there had been some speculation that he fled Minnesota to that property, but Florida cops say that's not the case.

About when housing prices were bottoming out here
The Town of Windermere has issued a statement (even tho the property isnt in town limits) that he isnt there which makes sense as hes now in jail
Tempted to drive by it.
