Chauvin Was Allegedly Involved in Similar George Floyd Arrest, Witness Says

More than a year before the murder of George Floyd, Derek Chauvin was allegedly involved in a disturbingly similar incident. A witness told Inside Edition he saw Chauvin make an arrest in a gas station parking lot. Monroe Skinaway said he saw Chauvin hold his knee on the suspect’s neck and kept his face in a puddle of water for 10 minutes. Skinaway says he recognized Chauvin the moment he saw the now-notorious video. He said the man Chauvin subdued even used the same words as Floyd: “I can’t breathe.”
