GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn, of North Carolina, has been charged with driving with a revoked license after being pulled over by highway patrol last week, the Asheville Citizen Times reported Wednesday.
Highway patrol spokesman Sgt. Marcus Bethea confirmed on Wednesday that Cawthorn is facing three citations for incidents occurring across three counties in North Carolina. Along with being pulled over on a revoked license, the pro-Trump congressman has two pending citations for speeding in Buncombe and Polk counties, the news outlet reported.
Cawthorn was pulled over last Thursday near Shelby, N.C., when a trooper saw his 2019 Toyota truck cross over the center line of the road, Bethea said, adding that “during the course of the investigation it was determined that the driver’s license was in a state of revocation and he was subsequently charged with driving while license revoked.”
As noted by the Asheville Citizen Times, “Cawthorn was previously charged with driving after having his license taken away before he was elected to the House in 2017.” He faces a maximum sentence of 20 days in jail, but it’s likely that he will get probation, the report noted.
