THE police officer filmed kneeling on George Floyd's neck while he was in handcuffs has been charged with third-degree murder.
Derek Chauvin was also charged with manslaughter following his arrest on Friday.
However, officials have said that more charges are possible, according to a CityNews reporter.
Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar tweeted: "Police officer Derek Chauvin has been arrested and is in custody for the murder of George Floyd.
"The first step towards justice."
Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington told the Associated Press that state investigators arrested Chauvin.
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said in a press conference on Friday: "This is by far the fastest we've ever charged a police officer - usually these cases can take nine months to a year."
Freeman also said "I anticipate charges" against the three other officers involved.
In response to the arrest, the family of Floyd and their attorney Ben Crump, released a statement on Friday.

The cop who was caught on camera using his knee to pin George Floyd’s neck to the ground is being charged with unintentional murder and manslaughter — but may face more serious allegations, a Minnesota prosecutor said Friday.
The three other cops at the scene will likely also face charges in Floyd’s racially charged death, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said.
Since-fired Officer Derek Chauvin was taken into custody pending the filing of a criminal complaint charging him with third-degree murder and manslaughter, Freeman said.
Under Minnesota law, third-degree murder covers “eminently dangerous” acts that cause death without the intent of doing so, and is punishable by up to 25 years in prison.
