The left and media will likely celebrate this, but former officer Derek Chauvin has been put on suicide watch. His life is basically over anyway as he faces up to 75 years in jail. He is 45 years old.
Derek Chauvin, accused murderer of George Floyd, has a camera focused on him around-the-clock, and police check on his cell regularly — all the hallmarks of a suicide watch, TMZ reported Sunday, May 31.
A source at Ramsey County Jail in St. Paul, Minnesota — where Chauvin is detained — told TMZ, he was brought in late afternoon Friday, May 29, and didn’t make eye contact with anyone upon his arrival — before beginning the check-in process.
TMZ was told Chauvin was put through an unclothed body search to look for any hidden contraband. Then, he put on a jail uniform and they led him off to a single cell in a special wing of the facility for high-profile cases.
For now, TMZ’s source said Chauvin is in isolation and being watched constantly. There’s a camera in his cell watching him 24/7, as well as guards monitoring the feed 24/7. On top of that, he’s getting checked on in-person every 15 minutes.
