She left the Shakopee prison at 4 a.m. and is on supervised release for eight months in Wisconsin
Former Brooklyn Center police officer Kimberly Potter testifies Dec. 17, 2021, about the events leading up to her shooting and killing Daunte Wright.
Ex-police officer Kim Potter was released from prison early Monday and will reside in Wisconsin, two years after fatally shooting Daunte Wright during a traffic stop in a Brooklyn Center neighborhood.
Potter's release at 4 a.m. ended her 16 months in prison as part of her two-year sentence. Potter is now serving the balance of her term on supervised release. Her sentence from Hennepin County District Judge Regina Chu was significantly below state guidelines.
Potter, a 26-year police veteran, said she confused her gun for a Taser. The police killing of an unarmed 20-year-old Black man sparked protests and calls for reform around pretextual traffic stops, where minor traffic or equipment violations are used by police to pull over drivers they wish to investigate.
