ST. PAUL, Minn. – Thomas Lane, one of the former Minneapolis police officers convicted in the murder of George Floyd, has completed his federal prison sentence, but still remains in federal custody.
Lane was convicted in 2022 of violating Floyd’s civil rights when he was murdered by former officer Derek Chauvin. Lane was sentenced in 2022 to two-and-a-half years in federal prison.
Lane was convicted earlier that year on state charges of aiding and abetting manslaughter and was sentenced to three years. Two of those years were served concurrently with his federal sentence, which ended on Feb. 26.
Lane is awaiting transfer to the Minnesota Department of Corrections. The length of Lane’s remaining state sentence is not clear.
